Bicycle Policy
It is the policy of Emory University to remove bicycles and/or
other vehicles secured in any way to objects other than designated bicycle
racks. This policy applies specifically to railings, handrails, and
guardrails; especially those railings or other objects that may be required
by persons with mobility impairments. The university is not responsible for
damage to locking devices and/or vehicles that require removal because they
are secured to objects other than designated bicycle racks. There are more
than sixty bike rack locations throughout the Emory campus. Click here to see map of bike rack locations.
