Crime Prevention

Bike Security

Dependent upon the value of a bike, bikes are often seen as very attractive items. We experience the theft of bikes throughout the calendar year. It is important that bikes are secured to a bike rack and that bike riders use quality tamper proof or bolt cutter resistant locks.

  • Always lock your bike to bike racks provided.
  • Use a D Bolt or U shaped lock to secure your bike or use a lock that is resistant to being cut by bolt cutters.
  • Record your frame number and/or engrave your drivers licence or use other identifying marks.
  • Don't leave accessories with the bike.
  • Keep a record of sales docket and photograph.
  • Keep a list of identifying numbers and marks.

The bike rack located at the ITRC Building, Building No 17 near the Main Carpark, is under constant camera surveillance. This rack often has space available and with signs erected to ward off potential thieves - this rack has sustained little theft.

 

 
U or D bolts are resistant to bolt cutters.
