Cycling and cycle racks

As part of the University's sustainability programme, and to reduce reliance on private motor vehicle use to and from campuses, we encourage cycling to and from the University.

There are a number of open "toast rack" style bike racks for casual use located across the Dunedin campus and these can be found outside most University buildings. In addition to these, secure covered bike racks are provided at a number of locations across the Dunedin campus. These are free of charge to use and allocated via the waiting list.

A LockyDock is available to use via the Bikeep app. This is located at 97 Albany Street.

Property Services recommends cyclists lock their bikes when using all forms of bike storage on campus.
