Bike Parking & Theft Prevention

With over 9,000 racks/hoops located around campus, stashing your wheels is a breeze. Bicyclists will find free racks and hoops near almost every building.

Do not lock bikes to handrails, trees, fences, bus shelters, sign poles or anything other than bike racks. Illegally parked bikes will be tagged and removed. To reclaim a bike, contact University Police at 612-624-7828.

Lockers and Sheltered Parking are also available to rent for a small fee.
