Cycling

Cycling is a safe and easy way to get around the campus and the whole of Canberra, and it offers many long-term health and wellbeing benefits. Not a confident cyclist? Pedal Power ACT hosts sessions to learn to ride as an adult, build confidence, improve techniques, and maintain your bike.

Interested in using an e-bike to get to campus? For eligible staff interested in purchasing an e-bike for commuting, ANU salary sacrifice options include e-bike purchases. You can register for a free e-bike trial for two weeks from the Canberra Electric Bike Library to see if it's the right choice for you.

Bicycle security

Keep your bicycle secure by:

  • Locking the frame and both wheels of your bicycle to a hoop using heavy duty lock or chain.
  • Locking your bicycle even if it's inside an enclosure.
  • Keeping a record of your bicycle's details. Record the serial number, make and model of the bike and take a photo.

Take your bike home at night and on weekends. Bicycle hoops and enclosures are not to be used as storage facilities. Bikes that are regularly left overnight on campus attract thieves.

If your bicycle is stolen email ANU Security
