Bike theft continues to be the No. 1 crime on campus, and we need your help to deter thieves.
Don’t become a target. Lock up your bike with a high-quality U-lock. They are more difficult to defeat than cable locks.
We’d like to help you get prepared.
This week, we will be awarding 10 free Kryptonite U-locks.
Here’s how to win:
Check out the CU-Boulder Police social media pages where we offer crime alerts, crime prevention tips and other safety information you should know.
- Facebook: "Like" us and leave a comment on our U-lock giveaway post describing why bike theft prevention is important to you.
- Twitter: Follow us and send a tweet with @CUBoulderPolice describing why bike theft prevention is important to you.
The contest ends at 9 p.m. Monday, February 3. We’ll select five winners from both Facebook and Twitter. You must be a current CU-Boulder student and not a previous winner in past U-lock giveaways.
Don't forget to register your bicycle online for free here. After logging in, click on "Manage Your Vehicles: Add Bicycle." You’ll get a registration sticker for your frame, and your bike’s serial number will be recorded. If it’s stolen and later located anywhere in the United States, you’ll have a better chance of it being returned to you.
Good luck and stay safe! For more bike safety tips, go here.
