Where do abandoned bikes on campus go? Photo by Michael John Lo. If you leave your bike on campus for too long, it might end up in Belarus.  Up to 50 to 100 bikes are abandoned annually on campus. The university says the number of abandoned bikes have decreased amid COVID-19. But with the continued closure of SPOKES which previously upcycled abandoned campus bikes to UVic students they now have to find international homes. According to UVic media relations, Campus Security collects abandoned bikes, which are then donated to a local charity that fixes them up and sends them overseas. But as the Martlet discovered, it’s a little more complicated than that: depending on when a bike gets abandoned on campus, it could’ve been sold at police auction, passed along to SPOKES for a new cohort of bike-borrowing students, or simply ‘disposed of.’
