“Bike Baiting,” a new and affordable initiative at Winthrop University, is staving off campus bike thefts and leading to arrests. Winthrop looked to the University of Wisconsin-Madison when creating its program.The UW-Madison Police Department began its program in May 2008. More than 100 bicycle thefts were reported on campus from January 2007 to May 2008, and only one arrest was made during that time, according to information on its website.
