As the weather continues to improve, many students will be bringing their bikes to campus. What is the first thing you should do when bringing your bike to campus? Register it with Parking Services.
When you register your bike with Parking Services, you are also registering your bike with the UMBC Police Department. Why should you register your bike? In the unfortunate event that your bike is stolen, the chances of getting your bike back safely goes up when you register it. Police have all the information they need to protect your bike and to ensure it is not resold.
Students registering their bikes with Parking Services will also receive a bike lock if they need one. This lock can be the difference between your bike remaining safe or not. Why take the chance?
You may register your bike with Parking Services Monday thru Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Simply complete and return the form to Parking Service and stop by the office to pick up your UMBC sticker and a lock, if needed.
One last reminder, at the end of the semester, please do not forget to take your bicycles home. Unfortunately, UMBC cannot store your bike over the summer.
If you have any questions, please call Parking Services at 410-455-2551 or email them at parking@umbc.edu.
