University BICYCLE policy

From the University:

The University encourages and supports bicycle commuting to campus by providing numerous bike racks across campus.  We have approximately 241 spaces available for bicycle parking and continue to add spaces.  This link shows the location of these bike racks: 
http://www.neiu.edu/DOCUMENTS/About_NEIU/Administration/VP_-_Finance_Administration/Facilities_Management/Bike_Racks.pdf
In order to ensure campus safety, bicycles may be locked up only in these authorized spaces.  Please be advised that any bicycle parked in an unauthorized space (fences, light poles, trees etc.) may be confiscated and impounded by the University Police.  Because of increased bicycle parking in these unauthorized spaces, enforcement will be increased.

Further, for safety reasons bicycles may not be ridden on campus sidewalks, or brought into campus buildings.  

Thank you for your cooperation.
