TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO

Cycling
KW is a bike-friendly region and most roads have dedicated bicycle lanes. On
campus we have many bike racks where you can lock your bike while you’re
here. Many students ride bicycles to campus and around the city.
Bicycles and accessories (e.g. bike locks and lights) can be purchased from
several stores in Waterloo. In addition, the UW Bike Centre (SLC 0101) provides:
» A Bicycle Rental Program which allows you to rent a bike during the spring
and fall terms
» An annual bike auction where can bid on a used bicycle
» Parts and tools for fixing your bicycle
