Bike SecurityHaving an inexpensive bike on campus can be a great time-saver and a good way to explore the surrounding campus community. But, before you pack those green wheels, find out how to keep your bike safe. Most importantly, purchase and use a good bike lock. Bicycle racks are available in each residence area, or you may choose to keep your bike in your room. If you need some assistance choosing the right lock for your bike, the following websites have compiled some helpful tips. - Bike Security If you’ll primarily use your bike to travel back and forth between classes, or take a quick trip into the West Point Grey village, we recommend that you do not bring an expensive bike to campus. Thieves tend to target expensive bikes and excellent quality is not typically required for shorter campus trips. If you do plan to bring an expensive recreational bike, please note that for fire safety reasons, bikes cannot be stored in hallways, common areas or other places in which they impede egress from the building. Students in Totem Park and Place Vanier typically find that there is enough room to store a bike under the bed, provided it is left in the elevated position as found upon move-in. Residents in other areas often find that they are able to arrange their rooms to afford enough room for bike storage.
