Bike Lockers
Located throughout campus, these spacious lockers will provide safety and protection for your bicycle and bike gear. Most standard size bikes will fit, although some tandem bikes or recumbent bikes may not fit into the lockers.
Please note: due to safety considerations, electric bikes are permitted in the bike shelters (and lockers) if their battery is UL Certified. Spot checks for compliance are done by Western Fire Safety. If you have any questions about checking your bike for UL Certification, reach out to Parking staff at wparking@uwo.ca.
If you are interested in renting a bike locker, please send an email to wparking@uwo.ca to obtain information on availability.

Bike Locker Waitlist
The Bike Lockers are offered to the campus community on a first-come, first-served basis. When the available lockers have all been allocated, there will be a waitlist kept. You can email wparking@uwo.ca to indicate you would like to be added to the waitlist. Being on the list will not guarantee space will become available for you to obtain a Bike Locker.
Secured Bike Shelters:
Along with the individual bike lockers, Western also offers permits for two secured bike shelters.
