Secure your bikes and vehicles

Leave a comment

Cycling to campus is a fantastic way to save money, get fit and contribute to a better city. However, thieves can take advantage of bikes that are not properly secured.

Use one of UC’s bike parking facilities around campus.

Secure bike stands are electronically accessed with video surveillance. Simply swipe your Canterbury Card to get access. Please make sure that you still lock your bike with a D lock. 

Secure bike stands can be found at:

  • Engineering (Creyke Road)
  • Behind Central Lecture theatres
  • Meremere (Law)
  • Halls of residence – please check with your hall

If you drive to campus, you can make your car more secure by ensuring there are no valuables visible inside the car and by using a steering bar lock as a deterrent.

You should insure all valuable property, including bikes, cars and motorbikes.

Please report any suspicious behaviour immediately to security on 0800 823 637.
