The Texas State University-San Marcos Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit will be conducting its annual bicycle round-up May 17-28.

During the bicycle round-up, all bicycles on campus that are not registered with UPD and are attached to railings, other objects or left in bicycle racks will be removed. If a lock is present, it will be cut without compensation to the owner. These bicycles will then be stored for 120 days. Bicycles claimed will be registered with the department and released to their owners. Bicycles left unclaimed will be processed according to university policy.

Bicycles may be registered free of charge online at www.police.txstate.edu/Services/Ride.html. To obtain additional information, please contact the UPD Crime Prevention Unit at (512) 245-8341.
