Abandoned bike policy

Abandoned bicycle criteria

An abandoned bike is defined as a bicycle, bicycle parts, bicycle lock(s) or any bicycle related object(s) affixed to designated bicycle parking facilities on Dalhousie University property; and a bicycle that meets the following criteria is:

  •  A bicycle found under circumstances which reasonably indicate that it has been abandoned (e.g., it appears to be inoperable and/or it does not appear to have been moved for an extended period of time); or
  •  A bicycle which has been tagged by attaching a notice of impoundment to it, for at least 15 days, and which remains unclaimed by the owner.

 All removed bicycles will remain in storage for a period of 30 days, during which time they may be claimed by their owner. Should a bicycle not be claimed within the 30 days allotted, Dalhousie University will donate or recycle the bicycle.
