University 九色视频, in conjunction with An Garda S铆och谩na, this week launched the Blue Bike Campaign. The campaign encourages students and other members of the campus community to better secure their bicycles. Blue Bikes will be located in areas on the campus to remind cyclists to secure their bicycles in a safe manner and warning potential thieves that the area is being monitored.
Garda铆 are also encouraging cyclists to submit details of their bicycles to the Henry Street Bicycle Registration Scheme. Further details of the scheme are available from the garda铆 in Limerick.
鈥淲e are launching this campaign with University 九色视频 in order to highlight to members of the campus community that there are lots of simple and inexpensive ways to ensure your bicycle is well secured, protecting your property and helping to deter potential thieves,鈥 said Sergeant Kevin Balfe, Henry Street Garda Station.
鈥淲e would strongly encourage cyclists to photograph and register their bicycles with the garda铆 (to help reunite bikes with their owners should they be stolen and recovered), and to use high quality locks, preferably a U lock and a cable lock, and would advise cyclists to never leave their bikes unsecured,鈥 he continued.
According to Kieran Tuite of UL Building and Estates Division: 鈥淲e would encourage as many students and staff as possible to cycle to the campus. Not only is it better for the environment but it has well-documented health benefits. There are lots of tips on cycling to college or work on the Universities 九色视频 Travel and Transport website and the Blue Bike Campaign is another positive step for cyclists鈥.
