We're a cycle-friendly campus and have introduced dozens of facilities to help make it easy and enjoyable for you to cycle to and from campus, as well as our accommodation villages.
Map of facilities
There are 1,800+ cycle parking spaces and 50+ showers across campus, open to University staff and students.
- The green cyclist logo represents University-managed cycle parking facilities
- The blue cyclist logo represents non-University cycle parking facilities
- The blue pushpin represents showers open to all staff and students
- The red pushpin represents showers open only to those authorised to enter that part of the building
These facilities can also be found on our campus map, available as a mobile app and through MyUoB.
