Biking at SU

Biking Incentives for Students and Employees

The university offers a few incentives to students and employees who are registered bicyclists. These benefits include a secure commuter bike storage and access to shower and locker space.

Contact the Campus Assistance Center to rent a locker, and request campus card access to the shower area via the Building Access Request Form.  Once your card has been activated, you simply swipe your card to get in. There are additional showers available at the University Fitness Center, also accessible via your campus card.  Below you will be able to register your bike, plan a safe bike route to campus, find a map of campus bike racks, and much more!
