BIKE REPAIR STATIONS

Our seven bike repair stations are color-coded in green on the bike view of the interactive campus map. They include all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. If you need additional assistance, bike mechanics are available at the RecWell Bike Shop for free bike maintenance. 
 

AIR PUMPS AROUND CAMPUS

If it’s only air that you need, you have options:

It is important to pump up your tires frequently because over time they lose air pressure. A properly inflated tire prevents flats and reduces friction making pedaling easier.  Learn how to properly use a bike pump.

LOCK REMOVAL REQUEST


REQUEST BY OWNER

BikeUMD offers a free lock-cutting service for all registered micromobility owners on campus. Lock removal requests should be made by emailing bike@umd.edu with the following information:

  • Registration information (required for all lock-cuttings)
    • Registration number if e-scooter/e-bike, or bikeindex.org link if non-electric bike
  • First and last name
  • UID

  • 3-4 days/times you are available for the lock cutting during regular business hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
     
REQUEST BY NON-OWNER

In the event that another lock has been placed on your micromobility vehicle, by mistake or on purpose, please email bike@umd.edu with photos of the locked vehicles and a description of the on-campus location. If the vehicle is registered, BikeUMD staff will attempt to contact the owner. If the owner can not be contacted, the lock and any other vehicles secured with that lock will be subject to DOTS policy on improperly locked micromobility vehicles.

If the micromobility vehicle is located off campus, on public property or other private property, the requester should contact the Prince George’s County Police Department’s non-emergency line (301-351-1200) to establish a record of ownership and have it removed. BikeUMD does not have authorization to cut a lock not on UMD property.
