Bike security
To keep your bike safe, lock it up with a D-lock (Sold Secure Gold or Diamond recommended) and consider a cable lock to secure any quick-release parts such as the wheels or saddle. Lock the frame of your bike to an immovable object, such as our bike racks on campus, and make sure the lock is not touching the ground.
Register your bike with Immobilise or Bike Register (UK wide), a service used by the police to match found bikes to their rightful owners. To register you’ll need to find your frame number, which is usually near the handlebars, below the seat post, by the pedals or towards the back wheel.
