Put Traffic Jams Behind You
Riding a bicycle is the fun, healthy and inexpensive way to get to campus. You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to get to class or work. There are 2,500 free bicycle parking spaces available on campus.
Safety First
Since you'll ride on busy streets alongside vehicles, it's important to always wear a bicycle helmet. It's also critical to keep your bike locked at all times. UCPD reports that most stolen bikes weren't locked.
To protect the safety of both pedestrians and bicyclists and consistent with the 2006 UCLA Bicycle Master Plan, UCLA has established a Dismount Zone policy in Bruin Plaza, Bruin Walkway, and the Parking Structure 8 Corridor, from Westwood Plaza to Gayley Ave. Signage has been posted and bicycles, skateboards, roller blades and scooters must be dismounted and walked through these designated areas.
UCLA Police are authorized to issue tickets, starting at $202, for those who continue to violate the Dismount Zone Policy.
Convenience a Close Second
Find the fastest, easiest route to campus using BikeMetro.com. Once you're on campus, UCLA Recreation Center has showers and locker facilities available to cycling students. Students automatically have access to these facilities by presenting their valid BruinCard. Staff and faculty can gain access by obtaining a Recreation Card or by purchasing a "Commuter Passport," which allows access to shower and locker facilities only, for a nominal fee. For more information, please call the Wooden Center at (310) 825-3701.
