Security has received some reports of missing bikes, and upon checking the campus bike racks, we have some safety tips!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ALWAYS lock your bike, even if you are going to be in a building for “just a minute.”<\/li>\n
  2. Purchase the strongest U-lock you can afford.<\/li>\n
  3. Lightweight chain or “cord” locks are easily cut by potential bike thieves.<\/li>\n
  4. Lock the bike frame<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0to the bike rack as bike tires are easily detached.<\/li>\n
  5. If you are using a heavy-weight cord, wrap it as many times as possible around the bike rack and various parts of the bike frame. Make it as difficult as possible for a potential thief and they will likely move on to an easier target elsewhere.<\/li>\n
  6. While it might be more economical to share a long cord with several friends and lock several bikes together, if a potential thief can easily cut the cord, it will be more attractive to a thief.<\/li>\n
  7. Leave the expensive bikes at home and purchase an old beater at thrift stores like Goodwill or Restore to get around campus.<\/li>\n
  8. Photograph your bike from all angles and keep the photographs, serial number, and sales receipt in a safe place for easy reference.<\/li>\n
  9. Check on your bike frequently! If you aren’t using it, then consider taking it home at our fall break\u00c2\u00a0weekend and bringing it back after spring break when the weather will be better again for riding.<\/li>\n
  10. Check the George Fox University Security Services Facebook page<\/a> for some photos of various types of bike locks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
