Stanford University Recognized as a Platinum Bicycle Friendly University for record Four-Peat by the League of American Bicyclists.

A big thank you to the Stanford community for your support; the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) awarded us the Platinum Bicycle Friendly University Award for the fourth time since the program launched in 2011. A special shout out to bike commuters --you are a huge part of our success! Last year we hit a record of 22% of our commuting population reaching campus by bike.

Reserve Daily Bike Storage

Daily bike storage is only available to Stanford affiliates commuting to campus. If you are a resident on campus and need long-term bike storage (e.g., over the summer), the Campus Bike Shop is offering bike storage options, so that your bike does not get impounded or exposed to the elements.

Please follow the safety signage posted at bicycle cages and lockers when using those storage facilities on campus. Bikes should be securely locked to a bike rack inside the bike cage. Please refer to our Keep Your Bike Secure page for additional details.

Main campus

Daily bicycle storage cages

Please note that Stanford is not liable for any loss, injury or damage resulting from the use of the daily bike storage facilities. Please also note that bike cages are the only secure bike storage option available at this time.

  • Bike cage spaces are available at Knight Management Center Garage, Stock Farm Garage, Via Ortega Garage, and the new Center for Academic Medicine (CAM).
  • The bike cage rental fee is $72 annually (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31), paid in advance, and is prorated for partial-year participants. You may vacate your storage space before the end of the rental term but there are no refunds for the unused time.
  • To reserve space, download a Daily Bike Storage Rental Application and return by email to: bike-information@stanford.edu.

Clothes lockers and showers

Some buildings on the main campus offer limited access to showers for Stanford affiliates, but they are not widely available. Stanford Transportation does not maintain a list of shower and locker availability throughout campus, so you may want to check with your department or colleagues.

Visit the Stanford Recreation and Wellness Facilities website for recreation facility hours, access information, available services, and other updates.

Stanford Redwood City

Daily bicycle storage cages

Each bike cage/room at SRWC accommodates 60 bikes and is accessible with your Stanford ID card.

There are three bike cages and rooms located at:

  • The ground level of Barron Garage (temporarily closed for security upgrades),
  • BeWell Recreation Center, and
  • The A2 Building next to Barron Garage

Currently, bike cages are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You will not need to make a reservation. During this time there is no rental fee.

Please note: If rental fees for bike cages take effect, rates will be consistent with our current main campus secure bike parking program, and ID card readers will be configured to only allow access to paying cyclists who are SRWC employees.

Clothes lockers and showers

The Stanford Redwood City Recreation and Wellness Center provides showers, locker rooms with towel service, and day use lockers, among a number of other amenities. Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served, day-to-day basis. You need to provide your own lock.

Visit the SRWC Recreation and Wellness Center website for hours and other facility updates.
