Using the storage
We may occasionally need to suspend access to bike parking areas to enable maintenance access. We'll give you at least two weeks’ notice so that you can remove your bike. If you fail to do so, the bike will be removed.
The bike storage is not insured, and your standard Personal Possessions Insurance (provided as part of your accommodation contract) does not cover bikes. You are advised to use a strong lock and to take out
extended insurance cover
. Your bike must be removed at the end of your contract period. Due to a lack of storage space, abandoned bikes will be given to charity.
All residents and visitors may use the outside bike racks on a first come, first served basis. You do not need to request permission. If you have any questions regarding bike storage, please feel free to reach out to your accommodation reception.
Your questions answered
