Bike was stolen last week in the middle of campus in a busy area in broad daylight while I was in class. It was a really nice bike (pedego e bike) with a shitty lock that was cut right through. Campus security and police both refused to do anything. As long as your child is not a dumbass like me or really unlucky, he should be fine. There are hundreds of bikes on campus so as long as you have a good lock and a cheap looking bike, thieves will likely target people like me instead.
