Abandoned Bikes

TAPS and UF Surplus collaborate to remove bikes abandoned on campus racks and ensure those cycling to campus always have a place to park securely.

Abandoned bicycle removals are scheduled for different areas of campus on a monthly basis, with each area of campus being swept for bikes at least once per year.
