There are more than 700 reported bike thefts per year in London with ~100 of them occurring on Campus. To help prevent bike theft, please register your bike with Project 529 Garage, a free, smartphone app/online bike registry uniting cyclists and law enforcement in a community effort to reduce bike theft. Western is an official partner of 529 Garage, so you can register and receive tamper-resistant 529 Garage "shield" stickers for your bike for free. For more information, see here.
A unswept bike lanes? Does a traffic light refuse to trigger for you as a cyclist? Large, dangerous potholes on the side of the road? Please help by being active and report the issue to the City through the City of London's service request website. We know - issues regarding cycle lanes or traffic lights are not even a option to choose from. Report them anyway and send us a copy of your request to wats@uwo.ca, so we can follow up!
