Services | Campus Safety

暗网TV supports the use of bicycles by students, faculty, staff and visitors from the Holland community for traveling to and around our college campus. As one of the most efficient forms of travel, bicycle use supports Hope鈥檚 sustainability project.

All bicycles owned by students, faculty and staff that are used on campus must be registered with the City of Holland as mandated by city ordinance. You can register online and pick up the sticker at our office, or you can complete the entire process in person at the Holland Department of Public Safety.

There is no cost for a bicycle license, and it does not expire. When you fill out the registration form, you will need to know the serial number of your bicycle, as well as its make, model and other identifying information. The serial number is on the frame; it is commonly found below the chain foot/pedal area, under the seat or under the handlebars.

The license will need to be affixed to the frame of your bicycle; we recommend placing it on the bicycle frame's seat tube.

Parking and Storage

Bicycles operated on the campus must be parked at a bicycle rack, or in a designated storage facility when it is not in use. We recommend that you always lock your bicycle to the bicycle rack.

Bicycles may not be left in any non-designated area, including, but not limited to, secured to fire hydrants, trees, parking signs, fences, benches, stairwells, ramps (including handicapped ramps), light posts or in the egress path of any building. Any bicycle found in violation of this usage statement may be removed. Campus Safety is not responsible for any damage or destruction to locks during this process. Bicycles that are removed will be held at our office for 14 days. If the bicycle is not claimed during that time, it will be turned over to the Holland Department of Public Safety.

Bicycles may not be stored in buildings except in an appropriate storage unit in a residential hall. These storage units are only available for students who are living in the respective building on-campus. Contact Residential Life staff for more information.

Summer storage is not available for student bicycles. At the conclusion of each academic year, all bicycles left on exterior bicycle racks will be removed and donated.
