Report an abandoned bicycle

Abandoned bicycles are defined as bicycles that can be identified by their poor condition (Flat tyres, missing parts, buckled or missing wheels etc.) or have been unused for a long period of time. 

The make/model, colour and any distinguishing features of the bicycle should be submitted where possible, along with an exact location.

Reports are investigated before a bicycle is deemed abandoned and a tag placed to confirm abandonment and give notice that the bicycle may be removed.
