Bike Lockers
Enclosed lockers will keep your bike sheltered and out of sight. Lockers fit most standard bikes.
Bike locker contracts are in high demand and most locations have a wait list. We can put your name on a waiting list and requests will be prioritized in the order they are received.
Fill out the Bike Locker Request Form to request a bike locker.
Cancellations require the locker key to be returned in working order to get your deposit fee back. Once the key is verified, a check will be mailed to you for the key deposit fee. There are no refunds for early cancellations. To cancel:
- Walk into the PTS office and turn in your bike locker key. Please see our hours of operation before returning your locker key in-person. The address is 300 Transportation & Safety Building (511 Washington Avenue SE) or
- Send an email to biking@umn.edu and mail your bike locker key to the PTS office (the contract cancellation date will be the postmark date).
- DO NOT mail the bike locker key in a regular envelope. Please use a padded mailing envelope. If the key is damaged in any way and does not work, the key deposit will not be returned.
