BIKE THEFT

Bike Theft remains one of the most frequent crimes in Palo Alto.

Although Greene’s Bike Cages are locked during school hours, they are not locked right away to allow for late arrivals, and they are unlocked early so kids don’t have to wait around. Therefore, bikes can be and are stolen.

If your child will ride a bike, etc. to school – please send them with a lock and encourage them to use the lock.

BIKE REGISTRATION

PLEASE REGISTER YOUR BIKE so if it is recovered after its theft, it may be returned to you.
