Choose two wheels! Bikes are a fast, convenient and healthy option for commuting and Brandon University encourages cycling as much as possible.

We offer a secure bike compound at the southeast corner of Parking Lot 1, where McMaster Hall meets the Knowles Douglas Centre just behind the white Geology building. It is a central location that is convenient to the Courtyard.

This secure compound is surrounded by eight-foot high climb-resistant fencing, monitored by high-resolution camera, and secured by magnetic locks. Inside, cyclists can lock up to custom-built steel racks that can accommodate several dozen bikes.

Using the Bike Compound

When using the compound, remember to follow some common-sense rules that will keep your bike safe:

• Always close the gate behind you.
• Never allow someone in who hasn’t scanned their key fob or card.
• Always lock your bike to the racks. These racks are resistant to cutting.
• Never lock your bike to the chain-link fence.
