Attention Mustangs,

If you ride a bicycle to school, PLEASE remember to lock it up!  Keep a record at home of the make.  Model and serial number in case your bike goes missing.  REPORT your missing/ stolen bike to the Corral as soon as possible!  Cable and chain style bike locks can be quickly cut so consider investing in a U-locks or “U” bolt locks along with a chain or cable lock which are harder for thefts to defeat.  Thank you!

 

(example of bike locks and how bikes show be locked up are attached run until 2/16)
