Cycling: UniCycles at Warwick

An enjoyable way to get across campus

Warwick's UniCycles scheme, run in partnership with nextbike, is a bike hire scheme available to all staff and students. Whether you pay an annual subscription or pay-as-you-go, you'll have access to one of 100 bikes situated on our campus.

If you want to spend more time exploring or exercising, you can make additional payments to go that little bit further. Want to pedal elsewhere in the world? Through our partnership with NextBike, your UniCycles subscription means you can pick up and drop off bikes in a string of international cities.
