Want to cycle without committing to buying and maintaining your own bike? You can hire a bike for a couple of hours through West Midlands Cycle Hire or opt for longer term rental.
University bike hire
Our Sustainable Travel team has several commuter bikes you can hire for a term or for the full acaddemic year. Bikes are available from the start of the autumn term; there's also a handful available in January.
Hire currently costs £110 for the year or £70 per term (including a waiver fee to protect against loss, theft and damage), and includes a helmet, D-lock, cable and lights. A £100 deposit is required, which is refundable if you return the bike in good condition.
If you are interested in hiring a bike, please contact the Sustainable Travel team below, stating your height and chosen hire period (term or academic year).

West Midlands Cycle Hire
We also have the West Midlands Cycle Hire scheme on campus, which lets you hire a bike as and when you need it. Just make sure you wear a helmet and hi-vis clothing and park your bike in a designated bay after use. Visit our 'West Midlands bikes and e-scooters' page for more information.
