Secure Bike Storage
Mount Royal University encourages staff and students to take advantage of bicycle commuting as an alternative mode of transportation to and from our campuses. If you are cycling to campus we provide bicycle racks for convenience as well as PedalPods and underground storage for safe and secure parking.
Bicycles are not allowed inside buildings on campus. Bicycles indoors are a tripping hazard and may block pathways or exits during an emergency; they also increase wear-and-tear inside our buildings. If you bring a bicycle into a Mount Royal University building, Facilities & Operations staff will ask you to remove it. We appreciate your help maintaining the safety and cleanliness of our buildings by keeping bicycles outside.
Bike Racks
Looking for a low cost place to lock up your bicycle?
Bike racks are conveniently located throughout the Mount Royal University campus.
There is also has a bike shelter at the West Gate to protect bikes from rain and snow. The shelter is free to use and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please avoid locking bikes to.
- railings/gates - it impedes the accessibility of the site by those with mobility impairments
- trees - it can damage them
- construction fencing - these must remain movable at all times to provide an emergency exit for construction workers
Does your building need a bike rack? Suggest a rack location.
