How can I protect my bike while it is parked?
The basic rules when locking your bike are to make sure there are two points of contact when you lock up & to use a good lock. Cable locks and U-locks are recommended & available at all bike stores.
If you live in the City of Ann Arbor and are over 12 years old, you are required to register your bike. It is recommended that children's bikes be registered also; its the best way to aid ain the recovery of a lsot or stolen bicycle. Registration can be done at the City Clerk's Office on the 2nd floor of the Larcom Municipal Building (City Hall), 100 N. Fifth Ave. The cost is $8.00 per bicycle. Registering your bicycle also helps the City account for the total amount of bicycling in the City, which can be useful when determining future bike parking ammenities and planning for future lanes and trails.
