BICYCLE SECURITY
September 4, 2015
DPS reports that several bicycle thefts have occurred on campus in recent weeks. Although the stolen bicycles were secured to bike racks with cable locks, the locks were easily cut.
To help reduce bicycle thefts, owners are advised to properly utilize a Ubolt type lock (as seen below) to secure their bicycle frames directly to a bike rack. These U-bolt locks are available at the Syracuse University Bookstore in the Schine Student Center at a 25 percent discount (with coupon) for students, faculty and staff.
To register your bike and receive your discount coupon, please register your bicycle using our online Bicycle Registration Form.
IMMEDIATELY report emergencies or suspicious activities, persons, and vehicles to Public Safety at (315) 443-2224, or in person at 005 Sims Hall. In an emergency, dial 711 (from a campus phone), #78 (from a cell phone), or if you’re in a situation where you cannot safely make a phone call, send a text message to 711@syr.edu; for the Syracuse Police Department, dial 911. Your quick reporting may help prevent others from becoming victims.
