Student bike hire continues in 2011/12! The University of Nottingham is committed to sustainable transport and a Sustrans cycling project working at the university aims to make cycling accessible to and enjoyable for all. Ucycle Nottingham works to promote and improve cycling for the whole University community. The Ucycle Student Bike Hire Scheme offers a great deal to students who want to get about on two wheels.
Cycling is a low cost way to get healthier and happier. It can keep you fit, plus it’s good for the planet!
Cycling five miles takes about 30 minutes, making it one of the quickest ways to get around.
All students can hire a bike, no matter whether new or existing, undergraduate or postgraduate, full-time or part-time, Home, EU or International.
Bikes are hired out on a first-come first-served basis-so be quick!
Quality bikes are available for hire for a term, an academic year, or until August 2012 (PG students only).
All bikes are ready to ride, and come complete with lights, lock, mudguards, rack and a year-long maintenance package. You will also receive free RideWise cycle training (if required), plus support from the Ucycle Nottingham team.
You’ll be able to access free cycling skills training once you get your new bike (not compulsory). Nottingham has lots of safe cycle routes, many of which are off road. Ucycle Nottingham will provide you with maps and support in planning your routes so you are happy and confident on your new bike.
Send Ucycle Nottingham an email at: ucyclenottingham@sustrans.org.uk and you will be able to reserve a bike (depending on availability). If a bike is not available, you will be added to the waiting list.
The hire fee is £35 for one term and £49 for an academic year.
You will also need to pay a £100 deposit (refundable on return of the bike in good condition).
You have to sign a hire agreement and will be expected to keep the bike in a good condition.
