Every year several hundred abandoned bicycles are tagged, removed and disposed of by the University of Delaware.

Parking Services is asking students and staff members to take their bicycles with them for the summer or officially store them with the University.

Bike owners who want to have their bike stored on campus for the summer may do so by contacting Parking Services. For $10, a bike will be stored from late May through Aug. 31 in a covered location on campus.

Beginning the Monday after Commencement, UD staff members will be tagging all bicycles in bike racks for removal from campus. Officials expect to begin removing bikes two to three days after they have been tagged.

Bicycles attached to anything other than a bike rack (i.e., railings, benches, trees) or causing safety concerns will be removed immediately. This practice will continue throughout the summer.

Questions can be referred to Parking Services at parking@udel.edu.
