Cycling facilities on campus

Secure cycle storage can be accessed at:

• Our Cycle Hub behind Dorset House (new for 2024/25)
• The back of Christchurch House
• By the Student Village.

These include bike pumps, tool stations and our new cycle hub has electric bike charging facilities.

To access the secure compounds, please take your student or staff card to Poole House Reception where it will be validated for entry to the compounds. If you are visiting BU please ask at Poole House Reception and they will give you a loan card to gain access during your visit. View the Talbot Campus map for more information.

Showers, lockers and changing facilities are located in our two 'Active Travel' facilities:

• On the ground floor of Poole House
• At the back of Christchurch House by the secure compound.

These are also accessed using your validated student card. We can provide wrist bands to make accessing these facilities even easier which can be applied for here.
