Bike Storage (Lockers & Racks)

Bike Racks

Bikes may only be parked on bike racks on campus. In addition to greater security, parking your bike at a rack keeps it out of walkways and wheelchair-accessible areas. Bikes not parked on racks are subject to impound, fines, or booting.

Bike Lockers

Bike lockers are available for rent at seven university parking garages. High security Cycle-Safe® bike lockers offer individual covered bike parking with key access. They are ideal for overnight parking, long-term storage, additional security, and for those commuters who just don't like lugging around their U-Locks.

E-mail bicycle@utexas.edu to inquire about the lockers. The lockers can be rented for $83 a year in addition to a $75 fully refundable key deposit. Locker keys must be returned to receive your key deposit back. Locker rental prices and refunds are pro-rated daily. There is a $5 processing fee for returns/refunds.

East Campus Garage Bicycle Storage Facility

The East Campus Garage provides a secure indoor bicycle storage facility located on the lower level of the garage. Utilizing CORA bicycle racks, the new facility has secure space for 160 bicycles and comes equipped with a water fountain, central AC, DURO tool station and air pump.

If you are interested in securing a bicycle storage space, please email Bicycle@utexas.edu with your Name and EID,  include "ECG Bike Room" in the subject line. Please ensure your bicycle is registered before requesting access to the Bike Room.

All requests will take up to 48 hours to complete. Once your request is processed, you will receive an email confirmation with instructions on how and when to access the area.
