Attention All Bicycle Owners

On May 12, 2008 Transportation Services personnel will begin the process of removing abandoned bikes, including bikes that are not parked in designated bike parking areas. In addition, all locks, wheels, and other bike parts attached to bike racks will be removed. This process will continue until all areas of campus have been cleaned up.

Sometimes it is difficult, if not impossible, to determine if a bike is abandoned or has simply not been used for an extended period of time. In order to ensure that your bike or lock is not removed, I urge you to PLEASE take your bike home with you, even if you will be returning for the first summer session.

Your cooperation will substantially reduce the number of bikes that have to be removed, ensure that your bike and/or lock is not damaged by mistake, and allow space for those using the racks on a daily basis for work and studies.

Thank you for your help and understanding. Have a great and safe summer.

When you ride a bicycle on the Texas A&M University campus, you are a driver. You must follow state laws, give signals, obey stop signs and yield right of way - just as car drivers do. Laws and regulations are designed for the safety of cyclists.

University Bicycle Regulations
State Laws

After the close of the spring semester, all abandoned bicycles are removed from all on-campus racks. Bicycles abandoned or improperly parked are impounded according to the University Regulations. In cases that result in the removal of the chain/lock, the owner will absorb the cost of replacement. Bikes collected at the close of the spring semester are held according to the University Regulations for 120 days to allow the rightful owners to claim bikes. During the 120-day period, customers may make appointments online to retrieve their bikes. After the 120 day period has expired the university sells the bikes via online public auction at http://lonestaronline.com.
