Bicycles
If you cycle to work, you can use the University’s bicycle racks or lockable bicycle sheds; to use a lockable shed, however, you need a bicycle pass. At some locations you can also borrow a staff bicycle.
Bicycle parking
Bicycle racks are available on the sites of the buildings. You can park your bicycle in these, or use a lockable bicycle shed. The sheds are only for the use of University staff, and you need to have a LU Card
- If you do not have a LU Card yet, you must first apply for this.
For safety reasons, you are only permitted to park bicycles in bicycle racks. You may never park your bicycle on the footpath, at entrances to buildings or inside buildings. The University is not liable for theft of or damage to bicycles.
Staff bicycles
At some locations you can borrow a staff bicycle. If you need a staff bicycle, you can collect a bicycle key at the reception. Staff bicycles cannot be reserved in advance and must be returned on the same day.
Near the WSD building the following bicycle sheds are available:
- Underground bicycle shed Lipsius (entrance via Paterstraatje), also a staff bicycle shed
- Underground bicycle shed Reuvens
- Underground staff bicycle shed Matthias de Vrieshof
- Bicycle shed PJ Veth on the Nonnensteeg side (student bicycle shed and locklable staff bicycle shed)
- Bicycle shed between the Reuvens and Lipsius building
- Underground bicycle shed Herta Mohr (from May 2024)
The door of the bicycle shed can be opened with your LU-Card.
