The club welcomes anyone who wants to give cycling a go no matter what experience or ability.

The club offers a great opportunity to get out of the city, have a laugh and do some great riding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there bike storage within University accommodation?
There are bike lockers provided at all the accommodation sites, however, we suggest that students keep their bike(s) in their room, as this is the most secure location, and hasn't previously been an issue with the accommodation staff.
Do you provide bike hire?
