There are a number of ways the campus could be made more bike-friendly: undercover bike parking, end-of-trip facilities close to workplaces (so cyclists can shower off the sweat when they arrive), more careful construction of cycle lanes that reflect commonly-used cycle routes(e.g. through Brescia, extending 2-way cycle lane past Physics and Astronomy and Nat Sci), cyclist-activated signals at traffic lights). UBC would provide an excellent role model in this regard, and 9 months of the year their weather is *less* cycle-friendly than London’s!
