Bike Registration
We STRONGLY recommend registering your bike with WashU and clearly displaying the registration shield on your bike in a visible manner. We also recommend using a Kryptonite U-lock with your bike, which are available for purchase at WUPD for $25.
Displaying a registration shield helps protect your bike from theft and facilitates the recovery of lost or stolen bikes. It also allows WashU to contact the owners of bikes that were impounded due to improper parking, like blocking pedestrian access.
The registration process is fast, easy and mobile-friendly!
- Visit Project529.com/washu (must include /washu) to register important details about your bike and select your delivery option.
- Once you get your registration sticker, complete your registration:1. Log into your 529 Garage account at project529.com or on the 529 Garage app to link your registration sticker to your account. Under “Your Garage”, click “Edit Bike” and scroll down to enter the 7-digit Shield ID found on the sticker.
- Carefully attach the sticker to your bike frame’s top tube or down tube in a visible manner. Once attached, the sticker cannot be removed without being destroyed.
Managing Your Registration & Reporting a Missing/Stolen Bike: Visit project529.com or use the 529 Garage app to edit your bike information, mark it missing/stolen to alert other users, transfer your bike’s registration to a new owner, and so much more.
If your bike is missing/stolen, file a police report and start an alert in your 529 Garage account. If you issue an alert, you can print or email your saved bike information directly to an officer or insurance agent. If it was stolen from campus, report it to WUPD (314-935-5555). If it was stolen somewhere off campus, report it to the appropriate police department.
If you would like more information on purchasing a bike lock, please contact Sergeant Geoff Himstedt at 314-935-5084.

Arts & Culture
There is no need to wander far from the WashU campus to enjoy all of the arts and culture that the St. Louis area has to offer. Right on campus, you can visit the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum or take in a theater production at Edison Theatre. Just across the street, within beautiful Forest Park, is the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, the St. Louis Zoo and the St. Louis Science Center – all of which are free to the public.
Within Forest Park, you can also rent a paddleboat at the Boathouse after lunch on the patio, play a round of golf on the The Highlands Golf Course, or just sit back and relax at one of the lakes. During the evening, live musical productions are offered throughout the summer at the Muny Opera. Tickets are available for purchase but free seating is also available.
For the outdoors type, check out the ancient Indian civilization of Cahokia Mounds or take a leisurely stroll through the Missouri Botanical Gardens. If you prefer staying indoors, you can view a diverse collection of contemporary art at the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis. Founded by a former WashU student, The Black Repertory Theater of St. Louis offers a unique cultural theater experience of dance and creative expressions from the African-American perspective. Looking for a musical escape? Stop by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at Powell Symphony Hall.
