Secure Bike Parking

1. If you don’t already have one, create a parking account with UBC Parking and log-in. For everyone else, log-in to your parking account.
2. Once on the parking portal, click on Add/Edit Waitlists then click through the next few pages ensuring your e-mail address is up to date.
3. On the Update Account Vehicles page, click on Add Vehicle and add your bicycle details. Just type Bicycle for the Plate Number and leave Make, Colour, and Style categories blank, then click Next. 
4. On the Add Waitlist Selections page you will see all of the available waitlists for bike lockers by location. Click Add to sign up for the waitlist for the locker locations you are interested in. Those locations will then move down to Your Current Saved Waitlist Selections at the bottom of the page. When you have selected all the locations you are interested in, click Done.
5. If there is a locker available at any of your waitlist bike locker selections, you will be contacted by UBC Parking with further instructions and a copy of the Bike Locker Rental Terms and Conditions.

Follow the step by step instructions below. Note, you will need the Serial Number of your bicycle, which is commonly located under the bottom bracket where the two pedal cranks meet. It is also good for you to know your bike’s Serial Number in the event your bike is stolen so you can report it to police. Registering your bike with Project 529 will help with the return of stolen bikes that are recovered by police as well.

UBC staff, students and faculty can go to the UBC Parking website and Log-In to their UBC Parking-Account by clicking on UBC CWL Login. For affiliated members who do not have a UBCcard, go to the Access Desk in the UBC Bookstore to confirm your eligibility to access bike cages and get a visitor UBCcard upon providing a $10 credit card deposit and presenting a valid government issued ID, then follow the steps below, with the exception that you must select Guest Login.

Claiming Removed Bicycles

If your bicycle has been removed, please contact UBC Building Operations at 604-822-2173. Please bring a photo or description of your bike, as well as ID when you pick up your bicycle.

Abandoned bicycles will be tagged for 3 days prior to removal to give owners a chance to remove the tag and claim the bike. Once bikes are removed, Building Operations will store the bikes for 30 days. If they are not claimed in that time, bicycles are usually sent to the Bike Kitchen for refurbishing and may be sold back to campus community members.
