As long as you are in college there is a secure Bike Shed, with CCTV, only members of the college have keys and the stands are inbedded in the floor. If you are in the terraces in Newnham or the Hostels on Tennis OCurt Road and Market hill, then things are not so rosey.

Just follow the standard proceedure, which is, 1. go to tutor, convince him that bike is expensive and needs to be kept inside. Points are scored for promising to keep it clean/in bike bag. 2. Then go to see the Domestic Bursar, who is the person you actually need permission from. 3. Hopefully, that's all you need to do.Selwyn CollegeSelwyn has a secure lock up shed just for expensive bikes provided that you can convice the Porters that you are a Serious cyclist. If you wish you could also try to get permission to keep it in your room from the Dean, and also the Domestic Supervisor.Sidney Sussex CollegeAppears that Sidney is not the place to be. Best to try and ask the bedders, but it appears that the Head Porter is not too keen on bikes in rooms. One could try to keep it in a bike bag.Trinity CollegeOkay, Trinity is not too bad, here is the method 1. Ask you bedder if she does not mind, explain that you will keep it out of the way, covered up and clean(keeping it behind something so that it can not be caught and hence fall helps) 2. If your bedder is happy next you need to see the House Keeper, (Both are very nice ladies), to get permission from them (depends on size of room etc.) 3. Get permission from the Junior Bursar, as long as you have permission from the House Keeper then you should be fine. If you see him in person he can be a bit intimidating but he is a loverly bloke really. This is best done well inadvance, if you are about to choose your room for the following year go and see the house keeper first and she will recommed places for you to get your room.Trinity HallBest not to ask permission from College hence "Ask the bedder" method should be adopted.Wolfson CollegeNot really very good for expensive bikes. |
