Cycle Storage - Fitzwilliam College

Is there a limit to the number of bikes you can store in Fitzwilliam College Parking, I want to bring 2 bikes with me, but unsure if thats allowed or not?

Probably best to check with them directly. I expect there's a limited amount of locked cycle store space so they may not allow you to store two bikes in what they have. There is plenty of non-locked cycle store locations you can lock up your bike, but obviously that will be at your own risk (and cycle theft is very common in Cambridge; the police basically don't investigate it either so the chances of ever getting your bike back are slim, so they're mainly there to report and get a crime reference number to claim on your insurance).

As artful_lounger says, bike theft is very common in Cambridge. Needing two bikes suggests one is specialist/expensive. I'd contact the Uni Cycling Club, assuming you may want to join them and see if they have any storage or deal to keep expensive road bikes under lock and key and out of sight.

College probably won't care how many bikes you have, they register bikes, but only so that your insurance claim is stronger, or they can contact you if you lock it somewhere you shouldn't.

There’s no limit. But the shielded cycle storage at Fitz is quite limited and most often you have to squeeze between 2 bikes. For the open cycle storage there’s usually enough space.
