Students can hire a bike for a term or the full academic year through this popular scheme. The bikes come with a helmet, D-lock and cable, and lights.
There are several commuter bikes available for hire at the start of the autumn term, and a handful in January. Hire currently costs £110 for the year or £70 per term (including a waiver fee to protect against loss, theft, and damage), with a £100 repairs deposit for maintenance work at the end of hire, which is refundable if you return the bike in good condition.
If you are interested in hiring a bike please contact sustainabletravel@contacts.bham.ac.uk stating your height and chosen hire period (term or academic year).
