To help counteract the historically high theft rate at the University of Texas, How to Double Lock A Bike is a project that aims to inform the UT Community of the most effective way to lock a bike at a rack on the University of Texas campus. A student created stop-motion video will be shown on screens across campus and three installations of ‘Red & Blue Bikes’ will be placed in racks in areas of statistically high bicycle theft. Take a moment to watch the video on the UT PD or UT PTS website, and learn the University of Texas Police Department’s suggested method to lock your bike to minimize your chance of being the target of a thief!
