Residential Life Policy: Bicycles and Bike Storage
Bicycle storage rooms are available in most residence halls. If you bring a bike to campus, register it with Public Safety -- watch for bicycle registration on the Main Green each semester or call 401-863-1438 to set up an appointment. A solid steel, horseshoe-type lock (not a cable) is recommended to prevent theft.
When parked outside buildings, bicycles should be secured to bike racks provided. Locking bicycles to handrails or on ramps impedes access to and egress from buildings, particularly for community members with mobility disabilities. Please be considerate.
Bikes should not be left in hallways, stairwells, entrance foyers, archways or any other public space of residence halls as they may impede people's ability to exit in an emergency. Blocking these areas constitutes a serious fire hazard, and bikes may be confiscated and impounded. A fine will be incurred for the recovery of a bicycle.
