Yes

A brief description of the plan:

Furman encourages students to bring a bicycle for on-campus transportation. Students are not allowed to move their motor vehicle from their assigned parking lot from 7 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday, which means student cannot drive and park in other locations on campus during these hours. A bicycle is an encouraged alternative for campus trips. There are bicycle storage racks at all campus facilities.

Furman's Public Safety department offers free bicycle registration. Bicycle registration allows Public Safety to notify students before impounding a bicycle in a prohibited area or which has been abandoned. Additionally, registration assists in recovering bikes which may be stolen.

Bicycles which are found with no permits, which have not been reported as missing, or are abandoned by students who have left the university, are impounded and sold at an annual auction in August at the beginning of the Fall Semester. A student can acquire a bicycle valued at $200-$300 for $25-$60.
