Big Bike Day is back!
As part of the University’s efforts to support active and sustainable travel, we are hosting our annual Big Bike Day on Thursday, 8 October. We will celebrate people that cycle, and people who could cycle. Come along to take part in the varied programme and get some motivation to start cycling!
📆 Thursday 8 October

Bike Sale
Are you looking for a new bike? Tam from Roastin Repairs will be on campus selling his refurbished bikes. Come along to see his selection, as well as custom bike builds.
Women on Wheels
Do you want to be part of a women and non-binary community of people who cycle, or want to gain more confidence on your bike? Women on Wheels will be sharing information about adult training, led rides, and family programmes. Come along to find out more.
Dr Bike
Our mobile mechanic sessions will be on campus to give your bike a health check and look at any concerns you may have. Dr Bike will also be back on campus on 19 October 2026.
Travel advisors
Our amazing travel advisors will be out and about to give tips on saving time and money on your daily commute to campus (not exclusive to cycling).
Free coffee
We will be on hand answering any questions about the facilities at GCU, and how to get your Voi 50% discount, and handing out free coffee at the same time.
Fill out the Travel Survey
As part of the University’s commitment to become carbon neutral by 2040, we are calling on students and staff take two minutes to fill in the Travel Survey. As a thank you, respondents will have the opportunity to enter a random prize draw for National Book Tokens (we have a £500 prize pool, so the chances of winning a prize are high).
