Helmet and U-Lock Discounts
Note: These programs resume July 1, 2025.
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. A MIPS helmet offers great protection.
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!
Select the helmet type and size that works best for your riding style. Helmet sizes and colors are limited to available stock.
- Giro Isode MIPS helmet is adjustable, one-size fits most.
- Giro Quarter MIPS helmet comes in small, medium and large sizes.
Active students, faculty and staff are eligible to claim one Helmet Access Program e-voucher through the parking portal.
U-Lock Discount Program
Current UC San Diego faculty, staff and students are eligible for one voucher that allows them to purchase an OnGuard Bulldog 8010 U-lock from Campus Bike & Skate for just $10—a 75% savings over retail price! We want ALL Tritons to have access to a quality U-lock to protect your bikes and scooters against theft.
