Helmet and U-Lock Discounts

Transportation Services and Associated Students (AS) have partnered to provide all current UC San Diego faculty, staff and students access to one high-tech bike helmet and discounted U-lock in collaboration with Campus Bike & Skate.

Helmet Access Program

What is MIPS technology? MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. You’re investing a lot in that brain of yours and a MIPS helmet is a great way to protect it.

All current UC San Diego faculty, staff and students are eligible to purchase a $10 Giro Isode MIPS or Quarter MIPS helmet from Campus Bike & Skate shop. That’s roughly 80% off! We want ALL Tritons to have access to a quality helmet so if the $10 would present a financial hardship, we can provide you with a MIPS helmet for free.

Active students, faculty and staff are eligible to claim one Helmet Access Program e-voucher through the parking portal.
