New Bike Pods Now on Campus

Thinking about exploring your transportation options this Sustainability Month? A new secure bike parking option is now available on Fort Garry campus. Bike pods have been installed adjacent to Wallace building, near Mary Speechly and Arthur V Mauro residences, along Drake building, and between Biological Sciences and Allen buildings. Each pod has six accessible, secure, weather-resistant bike parking spaces, and is equipped with Bluetooth locks that can be conveniently unlocked using a smart phone app.

Pods are available for rent through the Parking Portal on a reoccurring credit card plan. If you are interested in renting a bike parking stall in a new pod, you can be placed on a wait list by completing this form.

Bike Cages

For other bike parking options, staff and students on Fort Garry campus can subscribe to use the University Parkade Bike Station, an enclosed, weather-protected facility for up to 100 bikes, or the ALC Bike Cage, a new enclosure for up to 28 bikes behind the Active Living Centre.

On Bannatyne campus, two university bike cages are located along the east side of Brodie Centre. Staff and students can access the cage by contacting Physical Plant at banwod@umanitoba.ca to have their card coded.

Bike Locking Tips

For those looking for short-term bike parking close to their destination, locate campus bike racks using the Fort Garry bike parking map and Bannatyne campus bike parking map.

Be sure to follow these bike locking tips to reduce your chances of encountering bike theft:

• Lock the frame of your bike and one wheel to an anchored bike rack using a solid steel U-lock.
• Lock any additional quick release parts, including your second wheel and seat, with another U-lock or a double-end cable lock.
• Register your bike for free with 529 Garage, a City of Winnipeg theft recovery tool.
• Please report bike theft or suspicious behaviour to Campus Security Services and Winnipeg Police.
