Electric Bikes: Information to share

Electric bikes are not allowed on property. While we cannot dictate how a student gets to student we strongly discourage the riding of electronic bikes and scooters, because once they get on property they have to get off the bike and walk it. Bikes that qualify as a motorized vehicle would be docked in a parking spot and not in the bike racks.
