Bicycles
Bikes are one of the most common methods of transport for Wolfson members. Find out below about storing bikes at Wolfson.
Keeping your Bicycle at Wolfson
- Bicycle thefts are common in Oxford. Keep bicycles locked to a bike rack when not in use.
- Bicycles should either be kept in the designated area at the end of the underground car park beneath the F block flats or one of the outside bike racks. There is pedestrian access to the car park from the Tree Quad. You are not allowed to keep bikes in Wolfson’s accommodation.
- Bikes should display a coloured tag available from the Lodge. Without one, your bike may be removed.
- Owners are strongly advised to insure their bicycles and to join the bike register scheme. This will see your cycle registered with the police.
- Report any thefts to the Lodge as well as the local police.
- Long term bicycle storage is available for a maximum of one year.
Hiring or Purchasing Bicycles
- There are many reputable bicycle dealers in Oxford, including the Oxford Bicycle Company, Beeline Bicycles and Walton Street Cycles.
- Wolfson hosts a depot for BYKE, a student-run company that refurbishes bicycles for hire and resale. Bikes can be hired or purchased online and some are available for immediate pickup within the College grounds. Find out more about BYKE.
Repairs and Maintenance
- Most if not all Oxford bike dealers will take on repairs.
- BYKE offer a repair service.
