Protect your ride! Cable locks can be cut in seconds with basic bolt cutters. For better security, use a widely available, hardened U-lock to secure your bike frame to a bike rack, and add a cable lock for your wheels. A few extra seconds locking up can help prevent bike theft!

June is Bike Month in Ontario! If you're planning a bike ride this month, stay safe by wearing a proper bike helmet. Helmets help protect against serious head injuries.

Make sure your helmet is in good condition—check for cracks or dents, ensure the straps and buckles work properly, and that it fits snugly and sits low on your forehead (about two finger widths above your eyebrows).

Remember to replace your helmet after any impact, even if there’s no visible damage. Bike helmets are designed for a single impact and protect you from one hit.

The CSO is excited to announce the return of the bike lock program! The CSO and have partnered to provide U-Lock bike locks for undergraduate students.

What is a U-Lock? A U-Lock is a strong metal lock in the shape of a letter “U”. They are more secure than most other locks because they are more resistant to cutting than other types of locks. U-Locks can provide greater security for your bikes.

If you are an undergraduate student who bikes to and from campus, connect with either the or come in person to the Campus Safety Office (32 Trent Lane) to exchange your old lock for a new, stronger U-Lock.
