Some bicyclists at Texas State seem to be ignoring the designated areas for parking on campus. Danielle Rucker has more in this Bobcat Update:

All it takes is a quick look around campus to notice the many illegally parked bicycles. Many students have resorted to parking their bicycles on hand rails, building signs and other areas that are not intended for bicycles. Many times the reason is the bike racks are full. Some claim Texas State is NOT a bicycle-friendly campus.
  SB: Michael Cortez says it is hard to maneuver and find spots around campus.
Other students have not encountered any issues when finding a spot to lock up their bicycles.
  SB: Marcus Johnston says Texas State is a bicycle friendly campus and never has any issues.
The University Police Department encourages students to use the designated bike racks on campus. Using the designated racks helps to ease the flow of traffic in the quad and makes it easier for people with mobility issues to use ramps.
  SB: Officer Sue Taylor, says they encourage students to park their bikes in the designated areas.
STANDUP: Texas State is rapidly growing and the amount of parking spots is steadily decreasing. This means that students must find other means of transportation. As you can see, more and more students are riding their bicycles to and from school, but have to be creative in finding places to lock them up when bike racks are full.
