Bicycle Parking On Campus
Rules for Bicycle
Parking | Parking Options
The bicycle parking facilities at the University of
Oregon attempt to accommodate all users.
Even with the number of bicycle parking racks
available, some people find themselves in such a hurry
that they choose to park their bike near a tree or
fence. This is bad idea for several reasons:
- It is inconvenient for foot pedestrian traffic
and sometimes hazardous
- It is an obstacle for wheelchairs
- It is likely not secured properly
- It is against the rules
Please learn how to properly
secure your bicycle and know the following rules to
ensure that your bike will be there when you return.

Rules for Bicycle Parking
Park bicycles on the University campus only in areas
specifically designed for bike parking. These
areas are designated by bike racks or other devices for
parking bicycles or signs designating the space or area
as a "Bicycle Parking Area":
(1) Bicycles may be parked or stored inside University
buildings only in areas specifically designed and
posted for bicycle parking.
(2) Bicycles may be stored or parked in any area or
room that has been assigned to the registered bicycle
owner, e.g., office, residence hall room or student
family living quarters.
(3) Parked or stored bicycles that create a safety
hazard will be removed and impounded. All other
bicycles parked or stored in unauthorized locations
will be cited and/or secured by a chain or other
restraining device. If so secured, the citation tag
will describe the procedure to be followed by owner to
reclaim use of the bicycle.
See also Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 571-010-0090:
(a) University security officers or other personnel
authorized to remove and impound bicycles shall not be
liable to the owner of the bicycle or securing device
for the cost of repair or replacement of the device;
(b) Owners of securing devices which have been damaged
during the impounding process may appeal the impound
fee to the Traffic Petitions Office, c/o Department of
Public Safety. See OAR 571-010-0020;
(c) Bicycles abandoned for one month shall be subject
to impoundment.

Bike Racks
 |
In general, we
install bike racks in areas where bike
riding is permitted. A bike rack
may not be located in front or near a
building entrance for this reason.
The three bike racks pictured below have
been approved by the Campus Planning
Committee and meet the criteria for
security, appearance and pedestrian
safety. |
Covered Bike Parking
 |
Covered
bike parking is very important in Oregon
and it may be the most important
facilities improvement that we can make
on campus. |
Bike Cages
 |
The Onyx Bridge
bike cage is available on a first
come-first served basis. The
usage fee is $10 per term or $20 year.
Users are issued a personal code to
access the cage. The
Department of Public Safety (DPS)
manages registration of the cage and
lockers. |
Bike Lockers
 |
Bike lockers
are available for yearly rental.
The fee is $50 for faculty, staff, and students. |
