They are not supposed to be locked up by anyone. Since this was a project organized by Eastern, the bikes also are not supposed to be taken off campus. This is to prevent any hassle with the city. If the bikes are brought off campus, it is pos- sible they may not be returned to the university. Although Eastern has a relatively small cam- pus, this program can be a convenience to all who choose to take advantage of it. By taking the bikes off campus, those students are taking away a means of transportation from students who want to utilize the bikes. Since there are a limited number of bikes, it is likely they will not be replaced if they are broken, lost or destroyed. It is up to Eastern students to take care of the bikes and use them only when needed. The police department is trying to provide a service to the Eastern community, and we should in turn appreciate their efforts.
