Can somebody steal my bike, or my wheels or seat? Probably if they really want to. But if you take reasonable precautions they will likely move on to a more vulnerable bike. Make sure you have, and use, a U-lock and additional protection as well. The photo to the left is a potential thief in action; the photo to the right is our large supply of U-locks ready for your purchase separately or as part of our Security Package. The Security Package includes our recommendation for minimum protection to discourage a thief. Stop by the shop or give us a call, 650 723-9300, and we will be pleased to discuss these and additional options with you. We want to help you make sure your bike will always be there for you, ready to go.

Bicycling is the answer for your campus and local area transportation. Bikes get you around quickly and there is plenty of free parking convenient to wherever you are going. Walking is doable but time consuming, and parking a car on this very large campus is either near impossible or too expensive.
