For another way to get around campus, many students take advantage of Bloomington’s bicycle-friendly community.
The University requires that bikes are registered and display a valid permit, according to the IU Parking Operations website. This requires a one-time registration fee of $10.
Applications for registration can be found at the IU parking operations office, located in the Henderson Parking Garage.
To register, you’ll need the bike owner’s name, address and phone number, your University ID number, the bike’s make, style, speeds and color as well as the registration fee.
You may only park your bike in designated areas, such as bike racks outside of residence halls or classroom buildings.
Bikes may not be parked inside administrative or classroom buildings, in hallways of residence halls, on sidewalks, fastened to trees, ramps, light poles or any other electrical fixtures or emergency devices.
If you violate any of the above regulations or traffic regulations, you may be fined $20 or your bike may be impounded.
To get your bike out of impound, you’ll have to contact parking enforcement with your ID number, reclaim your bike in person and pay a $20 fine.
