Although there are many bike parking spots, UBC also offers ten bike cage locations across campus if you’re looking for a more secure place to keep your bike throughout the day.
These covered bike racks are enclosed, and they require a key card for access as an increased security measure to replace last year’s keypads. Most locations also feature day-use lockers for bike-related accessories such as helmets, shoes or jackets.
Additionally, the Chemistry Building location has a repair stand with air pumps and other emergency bike tools. This service is free and available to all students and staff, but registration through the Bike Co-op website is required.
Be aware though, they ask for up to five business days for your UBC student/staff card to activate after you’ve submitted the form.
