Getting here by bike
Victoria is one of the best cities to experience by bike!
Both Camosun campuses have many bike racks. There are almost 450 spots to park your bike, racks are located conveniently within each campus. Both campuses have showers in the Recreation and Fitness departments (Lansdowne: Young Building and Interurban: Campus Centre) and lockers available through the cashier to hold your gear. At Interurban there is also a minimal-cost, 18-bike lock-up. For more info, checkout the Bike Lock Program or visit the Bookstore.
