Secure Bike Parking

Secure Bicycle Parking provides added security for your bicycle with:

  • Access with a cal1 card.

  • Parking enforcement patrols during business hours.

  • Observation by parking attendants in facilities within parking lots on weekdays. 

  • Two covered facilities located in campus parking areas you can view on this map(link is external)(link is external)(link is external):

Bike Lockers

There are 14 secure bike lockers on campus:

  • Four at Hilgard Hall (Opposite the MRI Lab)
  • Four at Genetics and Plant Biology Building (East Side by Morgan Hall)
  • Four at McCone Hall
  • Two at Rec Sports Facility (RSF).  At RSF the lockers are on the Bancroft side of the building. 

To access the lockers:

  • Sign up for a Bike Link membership card. Membership is free but you need to put $20 on the card to activate it. 
  • Show up at a locker, insert your member card, and the door will open.  The cost is $0.05 per hour; eight hours will cost $0.40).

Bike lockers funded by Bay Area Quality Management.

Locking Tips

Always lock your bike to a bicycle rack. Use a high-quality “U” shaped lock. Avoid using lightweight cables or chains, or low quality U-locks. Always attach your bicycle to the rack through the frame and both wheels. Lock all easily detachable parts or take them with you. Avoid leaving your bicycle locked outside overnight. Check the lock before departing to ensure it is secured.
