Bicycles
Bicycles must be kept on the areas that are reserved for them. Bicycles may not be kept on corridors.
Bicycle storages and stands are meant for storing bicycles that are in use. Now and then the storages and stands are cleared from abandoned bicycles. On these occasions, a sticker is put on every bicycle. You can remove this sticker in case the bicycle is in use. The bicycles that have the sticker left after a certain period are taken to our long-term storage. If you suspect that your bicycle has ended up in our storage, contact Soihtu Facility Services.
Bicycle storages
Almost every building or its nearby area has a bicycle storage room. There are also racks in the yard areas for storing bicycles. The storage rooms and racks are intended for bicycles that are in active use.
In the Student Village, there is a separate locked bike shelter in front of buildings M, N, O, and P, which can be used not only by the residents of those buildings but also by residents of buildings K and L. The bicycle storage rooms for the other Student Village buildings are located either on the ground floor of the respective building or in a separate building next to it.
For tenants of Soihtu, the bicycle storage is located in the basement of building D, with designated spots marked with each apartment’s number.
At Soihtu Vehkakuja, there are separate outdoor bicycle storage units accessible with residents’ own keys.
