New UVic Bike Lockers

28 new bike lockers were installed around campus in early 2011. To arrange rental of a bike locker, contact SUBtext in the Student Union Building.

William says: "Replace your worn out chain to avoid gear damage." A simple check will warn you when it is time for a new chain. If you don't have a chain gauge, measure the chain against a ruler. If 24 links are at 12 1/16 inches, consider replacing. If at 12 1/8 inches, definitely replace. If even longer, it may be too late and the new chain will skip on the worn gears, meaning more expensive replacement of freewheel and/or crankset.

Is there an abandoned bicycle cluttering your favourite parking rack? If the bike is obviously derelict, let Campus Security (721–6683) know rack location, bicycle description, and approximately how long it has been there.

If the bike has been in the same place for a long time, there are parts missing, the chain is rusty and derailed, or the tires are flat, then the bike needs to be reported.
