Cycling at NTU

Find out about our wide range of cycling initiatives, from on campus facilities and cycling groups to cycle-to-work schemes.

Cycle Hub

Cycling is important to us at NTU as it enhances wellbeing and helps to reduce our impact on the environment. We have various services to make cycling more accessible to and around the University:

  • 300+ spaces in secure compounds for cycle storage,
  • Changing rooms and locker facilities.
  • Cycle facilities maps can be found here
  • Cycle to work scheme to help staff buy new bikes.

The NTU Cycle Hub operating model is currently under review, details on bike hire and maintenance will be updated shortly ahead of the start of the 26/27 academic year. Please contact sustainability@ntu.ac.uk with any urgent queries.

NTU Cycling club

NTU has a Cycling Club offering multiple sessions a week of both road cycling and mountain biking, weekly social events, and many trips across the UK.

There are opportunities for Road cyclists to represent NTU at BUCS: a 10-mile Time trial (TT) race, a 25-mile TT, a 3UPTT, and a road race.

When it comes to Mountain biking, BUCS is usually a 3-day event at a DH centre, including practice and the race itself. They cycle local rides and offer indoor cycling coaching at City Studio.

Training takes place on Tuesdays (6-7 pm) and Wednesdays (1-4 pm).
