BICYCLES ON CAMPUS STORAGE Bicycles may not be stored or parked in any public areas, passage ways, student rooms, balconies/decks/landings, nor ridden in the residence halls for reasons of safety. Bicycles should only be locked on exterior bike racks or placed in bicycle lockers. The Department of Parking and Transportation has a number of storage spaces in their Bike Barn, check out their website for more details. We strongly suggest students use a strong krypton-type lock on their bikes. We also suggest all bikes be registered with the Boise Police Department. The online form can be filled out at City of Boise s Bike Registration website. Students may also want to consider renting a bike for the year through the Boise State Cycle Learning Center, rather than worrying about purchasing, storing and transporting their own personal bicycles. REMOVAL Bicycles that are parked in and/or chained to non-designated spaces will immediately be tagged and impounded for a minimum of 48 hours. After a maximum of 30 days any remaining impounded bicycles will be donated to any number of community charities as determined by Housing and Residence Life. The same process applies for bicycles left in/on Housing and Residence Life after the end of the spring semester.
