The bike shelter we have outside our building has a very poor design. It is ridiculously high, therefore not appropriate to cover bikes in case of rain/snow. It is not the first time that the saddle of my bike has been soaked with water after leaving it in the shelter on a rainy day.
I raised a complaint before, asking if it would be possible to refurbish the shelter, but I got no response.
If anyone is interested in supporting the cause I am planning to collect signatures and then go the Facilities Managers at University of Surrey for a chat.
Please sign if you wish to have the bike shelter at the Leggett Building refurbished!

The momentum is building. It is clear that the faulty shelter is a frustration for many.

On the snow days, there was more snow under the "shelter" than there was around it; doesn't have any purpose at all.
It looks as if a two-tier roof was put on by mistake. I spoke to the guys who were installing it because it was obvious it wouldn't protect the bikes. They just shrugged their shoulders in agreement.
not fit for purpose !
Agree - current design is not fit for purpose.
Ridiculous design if it is intended to keep the bicycles dry?!
If they just take of a bit it would be so much better ,my bike still gets wet when it rains.
Bit of a fail really.

Completely useless structure. Not fit for purpose at all as it does not shelter anything.
