Professor protests gameday bike ban

Don’t park your bicycle in front of the Genome Science Building on football game days — it could be impounded, according to official signs posted on the bike rack.

Biology professor Mark Peifer was walking by his lab Friday when he found a sign banning bicycles for the home football game against the University of Virginia. The sign said bicycles are banned from the location Friday evenings and Saturdays on football gameday weekends.

Peifer posted a picture of the sign on his Facebook page for his research lab, which is just behind the Genome Science Building in Fordham Hall.
