Every month, Transportation and Distribution Services scours the campus and removes abandoned bikes. After a 90-day holding period, these bikes are made available for sale at low cost to UCI students and the rest of the campus community. Useable bikes and bike parts that are not purchased are donated to the Bicycle Donation Program. These bikes are then cleaned up and donated to organizations such as Shelter for the Homeless in Midway City and Olive Crest Homes and Services for Abused Children in Santa Ana.

For more information about the bicycle donation program, please contact the bicycle coordinator or call (949) 824-2691.

The reCycle Fair is held on the last Wednesday of the month, October to May, at the corner of Campus Drive and Jamboree Road. At this event salvaged bicycles and parts can be purchased at a low cost. Most bikes will require minimal repair such as new inner tubes, cleaning of rust, and tuning. Our goal is to provide an affordable means of alternative transportation to UCI students and the campus community. For more information, please contact the Bicycle Impounds Coordinator or UCI Transportation at 949-824-2691.

reCycle Fair times and dates are subject to change dependent on variables such as weather conditions, bike supply, and campus emergencies.
