Bike security
Campuses can experience bike theft. To reduce the risk of bike theft:
- Secure your bike to a bike rack, using a good quality tamper proof or bolt cutter resistant lock (e.g. a D Bolt or U shaped lock). It is preferable if part of the frame is locked to the rack (also lock the wheels if possible).
- Do not leave accessories with the bike.
- Record the frame number and/or engrave driver’s licence details or use other identifying marks. Keep a list of these details.
- Keep a record of the sales docket.
At UOW Liverpool, there is a five-bay shared bike hanger located within the car park near the entrance of the car park.
Please note that while the University cannot accept responsibility for items lost or stolen from the bike bases, there are security CCTV cameras in place and card access to the rooms can be traced to the cardholder.
