Bike Locking Tips

For those looking for short-term bike parking close to their destination, locate campus bike racks using the Fort Garry bike parking map and Bannatyne campus bike parking map.

Be sure to follow these bike locking tips to reduce your chances of encountering bike theft:

• Lock the frame of your bike and one wheel to an anchored bike rack using a solid steel U-lock.
• Lock any additional quick release parts, including your second wheel and seat, with another U-lock or a double-end cable lock.
• Register your bike for free with 529 Garage, a City of Winnipeg theft recovery tool.
• Please report bike theft or suspicious behaviour to Campus Security Services and Winnipeg Police.

While these devices offer convenience and environmental benefits, their use within university buildings and entrances is strictly prohibited due to safety concerns. This restriction extends to areas such as stairs, ramps, and accessibility pathways to prevent hazards to users, students, staff, and the general campus community.

Please use your device responsibly, respecting all rules of the road and practicing caution on all pathways and spaces to ensure your safety and that of others. Be mindful of your surroundings.

To ensure safety and accessibility, PMDs must not be stored in a manner that creates trip hazards or obstructs emergency exits. Storing devices in common areas, stairwells, or hallways is strictly prohibited. Users are encouraged to park their PMDs in designated bike and e-bike parking areas, which can be found on the University’s Getting Here resource page.

While bike and e-bike parking options are available, the University does not provide dedicated electrical charging infrastructure at bike lockers, stations, or racks. To minimize charging/electrical impacts on the University Community, recreational PMD users are asked to charge their devices prior to arriving on campus.

For individuals who require a PMD for research or academic activities, a formal risk assessment must be conducted in consultation with the Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO). To initiate this process, contact EHSO via email at ehso@umanitoba.ca.

If accommodations related to indoor PMD use are required, please reach out to the appropriate campus services:

• For employees: Contact Employee Wellness at employee.wellness@umanitoba.ca
• For students: Contact Student Accessibility Services at student_accessibility@umanitoba.ca

By adhering to these guidelines, PMD users contribute to a safer, more accessible, and environmentally conscious campus community.
