Project summary

For years, the Library was an unofficial place where any UVic library member can come and ask to borrow a ULOCK bicycle lock. This project sought to create a system to make borrowing bike locks an official process.

Summary of Successes

  • Purchased eight new Kryptonite Evolution Series ULOCKs which were barcoded to enable them to be checked out like any other item in the library
  • Ran an extensive outreach campaign to raise awareness of the initiative
  • Successfully developed a system by which any UVic cyclist can easily have access to a secure lock
