I assume there is places to lock your bike outdoors, but I was just wondering if any of them were covered? Can you store bikes in dorm rooms?
I know there are bike racks near Thompson Hall in Segundo are covered (as in, they have a roof over them). If you happen to end up living in the Cuarto area, Thoreau has underground parking, and all the dorms are suite-style so you can leave your bike in your suite’s common room. But a lot of people just leave them out in the open and locked to bike racks at night. Bainer Hall (building next to SciLec 123) also has underground parking, so if you have any classes in that area, you can park your bike there.
@sopranokitty Thank you! Really helpful.
Whooooops, it’s Briggs Hall that has underground parking, not Bainer Hall, haha. Got them mixed up since they both start with the letter B.
Your bike will be fine outside overnight as long as it’s locked well.
I kept my bike in the underground parking in Cuarto when I lived in the dorms. Now me and my roommates have our bikes parked in the living room of our apartment when we’re not using them.
Invest in a heavy duty Ulock for your bike. Bike thefts are a big problem at UCD. 2 attempts to steal my son’s bike but thanks to the Ulock the thieves gave up and moved on to an easier target. Also need to register your bike with campus police.
