Bike storage and security 

Most University accommodation has designated bike shelters and storage. There are also lots of bike shelters and racks for you to use around campus. 

It is your responsbility to ensure that your bike is stored safely and securely using a good security lock. To help ensure the safety of your bike, the University runs a bike security scheme and offer discounted D-lock purchases. Find out more on the Cycling page. 

Bikes are not covered by your contents insurance; this requires an additional premium to be paid. Check your policy and be sure to take out additional coverage should you need it.

Please do not store bikes in student rooms, communal areas, corridors or stairwells, as the bikes will be removed.

Where to store your bike in your accommodation

To find out where you can store your bike in your accommodation, please refer to your Residence Guide. You can also access your Residence Guide on the Accommodation Portal. 

Removing your bike from the storage area

When you move out of University accommodation, you must also remove your bike from the storage area in your accommodation.

In line with the University's Abandoned Bikes Policy, any bikes deemed abandoned, will be tagged, removed and put into storage. If bikes are not collected, they will eventually be donated to the charity LifeCycle.
