On June 9, designated as “Lock Day,” a theft prevention campaign was held at Seinan Gakuin University in Fukuoka’s Sawara Ward to raise awareness about bicycle security. Around 40 student volunteers participated, distributing flyers and encouraging proper locking practices. Police data shows that over 10,000 bicycle thefts occurred in Fukuoka Prefecture last year, with nearly half involving unlocked bikes. Organizers urged residents to secure their bicycles, even for brief periods, and to consider using two locks for added protection. Source: Seinan Gakuin University
