Bike-friendly campus

This Big Idea was assigned to our Community Officer who works on safety and sustainability issues. Since this Big Idea became policy there have been several changes made. The Community Officer has been working with the Estates team at the University to increase the amount of bike sheds around campus as well as increase the safety of these spaces for students storing their bikes.
The Estates team have created a document with all bike sheds available around campus. These can be found here:

Please check the safety guidance given by the University and West Yorkshire police when leaving you bike at these locations.

Hello! I am wondering why the Campus is so bike unfriendly. My experience with other campuses over the North of England is that it's possible to park a bicycle safetly in front of any building. Here at the University of Huddersfield, there's one bicycle parking at the far end of the campus. Not very practical, and not very eco-friendly. Can anyone do something about it?

Hi, I agree... for those of us that own cars, it's impractical to bring it in because of cumulative parking costs and parking time restrictions. Allowing students to bring in bikes and located conveniently might alleviate some of that burden?
