Security Tips

  • Where possible, always use the University cycle stands provided on campus. Grills and gates can be cut with bolt cutters; if you lock up to a short post, determined thieves may unbolt the sign and lift the bike up and off the post
  • Be sure to secure the frame, and not just the wheels, to a cycle stand. If you only secure the wheels, a thief may steal the bike and leave the wheels behind
  • Invest in a good quality lock; D or U locks offer the most protection
  • Remember - lock it or lose it - further tips for security locks
  • When buying a bike, budget for security.

Get insurance

An easy way to do this is to extend your home contents insurance to cover your bicycle, but make sure it covers you for thefts outside the home. If your bicycle is particularly valuable you may need to insure it separately.

Keep a record of your frame number

Without it, the PSNI wont be able to reunite a recovered bike with you, the owner. You can also register your frame number online at  www.bikeregister.com
