Get on yer bike!
With so many new cycling initiatives going on in London there is no excuse not to get on your bike!
The 'Boris bikes' have taken London by storm. You can easily plan your route to Uni via the route planner and it's really cheap too! It is free for journeys less than 30 minutes and then only £45 for a whole year of riding...that's the equivilant to two weeks' travelling in zones 1 and 2 on the Tube!
You can also buy your own bike and chain it up in the bike racks outside lecture theatres and the UCLU buildings... check out Going Going Bike for cheap bikes!
It's Going, Going, Bike
The UK’s only dedicated bike auction site, providing a community for bike lovers.
GGB is built around an eBay-style auction facility where students can buy their bicycles or bike kit safe in the knowledge that they’re getting a great deal – as well as knowing that they’re not buying stolen bike goods through 'Prove It', a way for sellers to prove that what they’re selling is actually theirs to sell. 'Prove It' asks all sellers to upload the bike frame number as part of the selling process, which proves that the bike hasn’t been nicked!
It’s also the place where everyone can go to sell unwanted bikes and stuff using bidding, reserve and buy now options.
Student Friendly:
-
No listing fee unlike other auction sites
-
Dedicated solely to all things bike
-
Secure payment system
-
Guarantee your purchase is not stolen through 'Prove It'

Join the community through our blogs, campaigns, Facebook and Twitter pages
Outdoor Gyms
The borough of Camden is not just great for nights out and shopping, it also offers you free outdoor gyms.
The outdoor gyms are just that: gyms which are outdoor! They offer the equipment you would usually find in an indoor gym but adapted for outdoor use.
The gyms are dotted all over Camden so find your nearest one and start using it for free!
You could even plan a running route and stop of at the gyms to mix in some weight training with your cardiovascular exercise to get a full work-out.
