The University of Wyoming Police Department (UWPD) will conduct its annual bicycle
roundup on campus Sunday and Monday, May 31-June 1.
Any bicycles that appear to be abandoned or are unregistered are subject to impound.
Bicycles can be registered at the police department, located on the first floor of
UW鈥檚 Ivinson Parking Garage. Although bicycle owners can stop by anytime to register,
it is recommended they bring their bikes to the front lobby during business hours.
The registration fee is $5.
鈥淭here are several reasons to register your bike,鈥� says UW Police Chief Josh Holland.
鈥淭he most beneficial reasons are theft deterrence and recovery. When you register
your bike, we gather all the necessary information needed to file a theft report,
including the serial number. If the bike is stolen, then that information is entered
into a national database where pawn shops and other law enforcement agencies have
access.鈥�
Bicyclists whose bikes get picked up during the roundup should call UWPD at (307)
766-5179 to claim their bikes. They will have to pay a $5 impound charge and a $5
registration fee if their bikes are unregistered.
All impounded bicycles that are unclaimed are sold at UWPD鈥檚 annual public auction,
usually held during the first part of September.
For more information, call UWPD at (307) 766-5179.
