Transportation by Other Means

Other inexpensive transportation options include mopeds, motorbikes, and bicycles.  JAIMS is also in walking distance to shopping centers. 
 
Bicycles cost $150-$250 for new one- to five-speed models at local bicycle shops.  Costs of mopeds and motorbikes vary.
 
Take these precautions to reduce the chances of your bicycle being stolen, and to increase the chances of recovering your bicycle, should it be stolen.
 
DO

  • Register your bicycle (if new) or complete a transfer of ownership (if used). Should your bicycle be stolen and recovered, police will attempt to locate the registered owner.
  • Record the make, model and serial number of your bicycle and keep it in a safe place.
  • Keep your bicycle locked at all times. Do not leave your unlocked bicycle unattended.
  • Use a strong lock, such as a case-hardened U-lock, which is very difficult for thieves to remove. Cable or chain locks are easily cut with bolt/cable cutters.
  • Lock your bicycle properly. Be sure to secure both the frame and tires to the bicycle rack.
  • Report your stolen bicycle to the Honolulu Police Department as soon as possible. The earlier the police are aware of the theft, the greater the chances that they will be able to recover the bicycle.

DON'T

  • Leave your bicycle overnight in the bicycle racks at JAIMS, if possible. Most thefts tend to occur during the late evening or early morning hours while the building is unattended. And, bicycles left outdoors, even if they are locked properly, are more vulnerable to theft.
