Dear Students and Colleagues,

1. Clean-up program towards discarded and improperly parked bicycles throughout campus

In order to maintain the orderliness of campus environment, make good use of resources, and avoid public space occupancy and safety hazard caused by discarded bicycles, SFS plans to clear the above mentioned bicycles on a yearly basis, with schedule listed below:

Security team will check the bicycles parked on campus according to the above schedule and place notices on the bicycles that meet any of the following criteria:

• Lack of bicycle accessories, for instance, handlebars, saddles, tires etc. (as shown in the picture)
• Chains broken, severely rusty or other conditions not suitable for future use;
• Improperly parked in places such as pavements, corridors, space under stairs, indoors, fire exits etc. (see the example picture)

Bicycle owners should remove the above bicycles prior to the deadline stated on the notice. Should the owners fail to contact our office or timely move away their bicycles within the designated time period, the involved bicycles will be impounded to our warehouse for temporary custody.

Owners can visit the Security Centre (E7-G003c) during office hours (Mondays to Fridays, 9:00am – 1:00pm, 2:00pm – 5:45pm) to make an inquiry or claim back the bicycles by presenting a valid bicycle receipt, photo, bicycle permit number and the right keys to the bicycle locks. If the impounded bicycles are not claimed for over a year, they will be processed as lost items. Please contact Security Centre at 8822 4126 for any doubt.

2. Voluntary recycle and re-use of bicycle program
As a platform to encourage recycle use of bicycles, a voluntary bicycle recycling program has been launched. The bicycle owners shall complete the registration form for voluntary bicycle disposal in Security Centre (E7-G003c) during office hours. Meanwhile, interested parties for re-using recycled bicycles could raise their request or make the reservation by calling 8822 4126 for query or further arrangement.

3. Bicycle registration
Each self-bought bicycle should be registered with the Security and Facilities Services Section. The registration of your personal bicycles can help identifying bicycles in use on campus. It also serves as a proof for bicycle owner. The applicants should submit the completed registration form with a color photo of bicycle to SFS. Upon completion of registration, a permit will be placed on your bicycle for identification. Below please find the application procedures:

Download the application form from the website (https://sfs.cmdo.um.edu.mo/request-forms/) or get it from the Security Centre (E7-G003c);
Send the completed application via email to sfs.bicycle@um.edu.mo;
Upon receipt of SFS’s notification, bring your Student Card/Staff Card and bicycle to the Security Centre in person for collecting the bicycle permit.
Should you have any inquiries, please contact Security Centre at 8822 4126.

Thank you for your attention.

Best Regards,

Security and Facilities Services Section
