PSOAS Bikes for exchange students

PSOAS Bikes is a communial bicycle service for shared use, and the service can be activated through OmaPSOAS portal. The access to the shelter of the bikes is added to tenants’ iLOQ-keys. The access can be requested in OmaPSOAS and needs to be taken in use at your own building’s activation point. The usage of the bicycle shelter is being monitored by an intelligent lock system as well as camera surveillance. Each bike has their own serial number and they are kept in their own labelled slot in the shelter. Please notice the bikes are only for the exchange students living in the dormitories for exchange students.
