Cycling to University
A cycle path runs between the Fallowfield campus and the main University campus, allowing you to cycle safely to and from your lectures.
Transport for Greater Manchester also offers advice on cycling around the city and bike rentals.
Bike storage
Most halls of residence have designated bike shelters and storage. There are also plenty of bike shelters and racks for you to use around campus.
Make sure your bike is always stored safely and securely using a D-lock. To help ensure the safety of your bike, the University runs a bike registration scheme and subsidised D-lock purchases.
