Cycle security
The campus surrounding areas offer a bike friendly environment for both Staff and Students.
Over the past 2 years cycle theft has been reduced by a massive 25%, this is a big tribute to the hard work the security team have invested and continue to invest in crime prevention at the university.Keeping your bike safe and secure at the university couldn’t be easier…
On campus there are 67 cycle storage areas, a number of which are undercover. All student Halls have secure cycle storage available. Further information about these can be found on the interactive map by searching ‘Transport and Parking & cycle racks’ http://maps.lboro.ac.uk/
Security offer a free bike registration service. A small tag is placed on your bike and registered to yourself; if the bike is reported missing and recovered it can easily be re-united with you.
Security also offer a D lock for £10 each, these are far more secure than chains, cables and padlocks.

Be Safe whilst Cycling.
Although throughout Loughborough there are a number of cycle routes it is essential you remain safe whilst cycling.
These are our top tips…
- Always wear a helmet, in the case of an accident this can prevent serious head injury and possibly save your life!
- Wear suitable clothing, something that will not hinder you or get caught in the wheels or peddles whilst you are riding.
- Always be visible, wear bright coloured clothing ideally with reflective materials to ensure you can always be seen.
- Use Lights when it’s dark. In conjunction with Hi Visibility clothing you should always ensure other road users and pedestrians can see you.
- Use cycle paths where they are available. Slow down and use your bell to let people know you are there.
