Every year a number of bicycles are abandoned聽across the campuses, taking聽up valuable bike parking spaces and attracting thieves.
From Monday 3 June, the BU Estates team will be monitoring the cycle storage at Talbot and Lansdowne Campuses, including the Student Village,聽and identifying bikes they consider abandoned.
The will then be followed for any聽bikes considered abandoned after this date:聽
- bikes will be tagged for a minimum of 14 days in preparation for removal
- the tag聽on the bike will identify the reason it was tagged and advise the owner to move it as soon as possible
- bikes that have not been removed and are still tagged by Friday 28聽June 2019聽will be removed from the bike shelters and stored onsite for a minimum of 28 days
- any bikes which have聽not been claimed after this time聽will be donated to a local bike recycling charity.
Please note:聽the cycle parking facilities on campus are for daily use only and not for regular overnight or prolonged storage, and that bikes left in the shelters for聽prolonged periods are at risk of removal.
If you have any queries about this scheme, please contact聽[email protected].
