Christian, the city is actually in the process of creating a bicycle removal policy now. There's no registration process and some residents store bikes on the street or in nearby parks so city officials are cautious -- with good reason. I've known of places with very draconian policies which strike me as too strict.
Also, I should note no city employees monitor See Click Fix, although they are planning to open up the API to the city's work order system in August.

If you want to file an official request that will go directly to the proper city officials, use the forms online here:

Or call the Mayor's 24-hour hotline at 617-635-4500.

thanks rob!
I'll report that bike (I'm pretty sure it's orphaned, flat tire, sitting there for months) directly to the city of Boston.

I called the Mayor's hotline about it on May 20. The service request is now "closed" (http://mayors24.boston.gov/selfservice/trackcase.jsp?ref=101000141062&email=timothy.g.reardon%40gmail.com)
When i called again today, they said that DPW sent some (apparently) blind dudes out who couldn't find it.
