Bicycles

• Use a �U-shaped� lock, not a cable lock. Available at The Willamette Store.
• Lock the wheel and the frame to the rack.
• Immediately report suspicious persons around bike racks.
• Register your bicycle with Campus Safety at no charge.

If a stolen bicycle is subsequently recovered, it can be easily returned to the registered owner.
• Bicycles may park only in designated bicycle racks. Bicycles locked to railings or parked in hallways are subject to removal.
