As long as you claim your bike before Monday, June 27, you should be all set! Bikes that are not claimed by then will be removed and held at the Security Office until at least Sept. 15 before being donated. You can read the complete abandoned bike policy on the website or contact Bike Committee Chair Michael Gorman '10 at mgorman@iwu.edu or ext. 3262 if you have any questions or concerns.
