Bike Parking & Security

The Chanticleer provides bike parking in our parking garage. However security is relative to the attention paid by all residents.

What can you do to help?

EVERYONE:

  • Only admit your own guests and people you recognize into the building.
  • Report a lost fob immediately.
  • Ensure exterior doors close behind you, including the garage door.
  • Immediately report any problems with doors or building lighting to our property manager.

BIKE OWNERS: make our building less appealing to thieves

Unlocked bikes are an invitation to thieves, and they talk to each other.” Edmonton Police Service member who investigated a theft in the building.
Even if you have an old or cheap bike, lock it up, using u-bolt or carbon or heavy chain locks (not cable locks, which are easy to cut).
Register your bikes with BikeIndex.orgRegistration is free. Even if a bike is not especially expensive, if it is stolen Bike Index registration can help with recovery, and can help the police prosecute a thief.
