The Directorate of Estates and Campus Services are readying the University for the return of students and some staff in September.
Following an audit we have discovered over 450 bicycles remaining on campus that haven’t been used or moved for a number of weeks.
We need to know who these bikes belong to and whether the owners intend to collect them as soon as possible. Our bike sheds will begin to be cleared at the end of August.
Here’s what you need to do…
If you would like the University to store your bike until your return next term this is not a problem.
Please follow these instructions as soon as possible - bikes will begin to be removed at the end of August:
If you no longer want your bicycle please let the Travel and Transport team know by emailing admn676@york.ac.uk giving as much detail as possible including the location, a picture if possible, and the make and model.
We have an agreement with Fulford Cycles who repair our unwanted cycles, ready to be sold back to students during our Bike Doctor sessions at a discounted price.
Any staff or students wishing to buy a refurbished bike should come along to the Bike Doctor sessions on campus.
Remember: cycling and walking are the most sustainable and healthy ways to get to and around campus.
