Tips

Bikes should always be locked and parked upright at bike racks; Parking at and/or locking to railings, ramps, trees, benches, or anywhere except a bike rack is prohibited.

USE A U-LOCK, not a cable lock! Protect your bike by locking its frame to a bike rack with a U-Lock! You can buy a Kryptonite U-Lock at cost from WUPD for $25.

Use a cable lock for securing accessories and a highly rated U-Lock to secure your frame.

Secure your back wheel and frame with a highly rated U-lock to an approved bike rack.

How to Report a Bike Theft

If your bike is stolen, it's important to file an official police report as well as issue an alert through your 529 Garage account.

Step 1:

Start an alert on your bike on the 529 Garage website or app.

If your bike isn't registered, register it first with all the information that you have about your bike, and then start the alert.

Go to your garage

Step 2:

If it was stolen on campus, report it to WUPD (314-935-5555). If it was stolen somewhere off campus, call the appropriate police department. If you issue an alert in your 529 Garage account, you can print or email your saved bike information directly to an officer or insurance agent.
