Bicycle Parking & Safety
Bicycle Parking
Reserved bicycle parking is located in the ground floor storage room at 35 Charles St West.
Residents who wish to reserve a spot should contact Housing Services. Only those whose names are on the lease can request a space and they will have to provide photo identification. Please note that there is a limit of one bicycle rack per household, assigned on a first-come basis.
Unreserved bicycle parking racks are located at 35 Charles St W:
- outside of the main entrance.
- in the fob accessible bike cage on parking level A, adjacent to spots A-36 and A-129.
These racks are reserved for day-to-day users on a first-come first served basis and are not intended for long term storage. Bicycles found locked to these racks for extended periods of time will be tagged and removed from the property.
UFH is not liable for lost or damaged bikes.
Bicycle Safety in Toronto
With property theft as a persistent issue in downtown Toronto, we encourage residents to consider the following suggestions to ensure the continued safety of their belongings:
use Two locks
Always lock your bike with two quality locks; use a U-lock and a cable lock.
intertwine the lock
Secure the frame of your bike to the bicycle rack with a U-lock. Intertwine the cable lock to the bike frame, wheels and bike rack.
Take items with you
Remove all quick release items (e.g., wheels, seat) and bring them with you.
For additional information and suggestions, visit the City of Toronto and Toronto Police websites. Please report missing or stolen items to Campus Safety and/or Toronto Police’s non-emergency line.
