Bicycle parking

The university has excellent facilities for anyone cycling to work, including those who have their own bicycles and park them in one of our 3,000 bicycle racks, or those who opt for a city bike.

Available bicycle racks at Blindern.
Lots of bike racks available at Blindern.

You will find bike racks everywhere at the UiO. At Blindern there are bike racks outside every entrance. In total we are able to accommodate almost 2,000 bikes.

Make sure you do not park your bicycle in a way that blocks footpaths and entrances, or gets in the way of general traffic. Bicycles are parked at your own risk, both indoors and outside.

Please be considerate to pedestrians when cycling on the footpaths. In places where there are a lot of pedestrians, we advise you to push your bike.

Locked and covered bicycle parking

You will find locked bicycle parking under cover in several locations on campus. Please note that long-term bicycle parking, such as through the winter months, is not permitted. The Estate Department is currently working to facilitate for more locked and covered bicycle parking.

Free bicycle washing machine and service point

You will also find a bicycle service point on Studenttorget in front of Helga Engs hus, which has two bicycle tools on a retractable wire. Here you can pump up tires and make minor repairs to your bike.

In Domus Juridica, students and employees with access to the building are able to do simple bike cleaning and maintenance in the basement.

City bikes

Oslo Bysykkel is available at many spots at the University of Oslo.

Incorrectly parked bikes

Bikes and scooters are not permitted inside the buildings. This rule is in place to ensure free evacuation routes, maintain cleanliness and general accessibility. Abandoned and damaged bikes will also be removed. 

These bikes will be relocated to the nearest bicycle parking area with their respective locks or handed over to Landscape Services, who will store them for three months. Please contact the Estate Department if you have any questions.

Motorbikes and mopeds

UiO encourages the parking of mopeds and motorbikes in designated parking spots. There are 12 such designated spots available between Fysikkbygningen and Helga Engs hus. Parking is not permitted on the grass.

Report damages, defects or needs

You can also report other needs related to cleaning, outdoor space, waste, internal relocation, courier services or other operational work.
