Students register their bikes with the State Center Community College District Police during a bicycle festival at Fresno City College on Sept. 24, 2015.

How to keep your bike safe. That was the purpose of an event geared to promote bike safety at Fresno City College.

In the past, many students have had their bike parts stolen or in some cases their entire bike stolen. Police at the college are registering students’ bikes with them. They say this helps students keep their bikes.

The event was not just aimed at preventing bike theft, it was also a way for students to personally learn more about their bike.

The Fresno Bike Coalition handed out informational booklets.

Tatiana says these kind of events are beneficial because they help students with bike safety and keep students informed.
This is the second year that FCC has also brought in vendors to provide services such as complementary tune-ups by Steven’s Bicycles.
