About Bike Sales

When the Stanford Department of Public Safety marks bicycles as abandoned and subsequently abates them from bike racks throughout campus, they are held for at least 90 days. After 90 days, abated bicycles are declared unclaimed abandoned property and are eligible for sale or donation.

If you are interested in purchasing one of our abated bicycles, you may make an appointment to view the available bicycles and purchase one from our inventory.

Walk-ins are welcome only during the last 30 minutes of the sale.

  • The location of the bike sale is the bike lot behind the Public Safety Building Bonair Siding Road and Pampas Ln.
  • Each buyer will complete a Release/Waiver form agreeing that the bike is sold “as is” with no guarantees, refunds or liability to Stanford.
  • All available bikes are $40 only, payment can be made electronically or cash.
  • Professional evaluation and repair of any purchased bike is encouraged for safety, and is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

The Department of Public Safety strongly recommends riders register their bikes using BIKE INDEX.
