Bike bases

Bike bases

Bike bases are secure, undercover and CCTV-monitored bicycle storage rooms. 

In a bike base, you can lock up your bike and access end-of-trip facilities such as lockers, toilets and showers. 

There are bike bases located across the Wollongong and Innovation campuses.  UOW staff and students can use the end of trip facilities - they're free if you have a UOW access card.
