Bicycles

Close Up of Bike Lock

The use of bicycles on campus is encouraged as a safe and efficient mode of transportation.  Bicycles parked outside should always be locked to a bike rack with a strong lock.  U-bolt locks are recommended and are available for purchase at the Bowdoin Bookstore.  Bicycles should not be locked to trees, railings, and light or sign posts.  Bicycles may also be stored inside designated bicycle storage rooms available in many dorms. 

Maine Biking Laws

To help deter theft and assist Security in returning lost and stolen bicycles promptly, all bicycles used by students, faculty and staff on campus must be registered with the Office of Safety & Security.  There is no charge for registering your bicycle and bicycles only need to be registered once.  You can easily register your bicycle by clicking below.
