The Ohio University Police Department will remove all abandoned bikes on the Athens Campus in May.

OUPD will mark all bikes on campus with colored ribbon in early May. Owners who do not want their bike removed will need to remove the ribbon from the bike. OUPD will remove all bikes that still have the ribbon attached to them during a sweep later in May. 

All collected bikes that are not claimed will eventually be sold in Ohio University’s ReBike program.

Those with questions can contact Det. Brittney VanBibber at 740-593-1911.
