Ready to make your journey to campus easier, cheaper, and a bit more enjoyable? Come along to our Active Commuter Fair and explore your options – whether you walk, cycle, wheel, or take public transport. Meet friendly experts, try out new things like e-bikes with Cycling UK, and pick up practical tips to make your commute work better for you.
Want to save money? Find out about Bee Network bus passes, student rail tickets, our new car sharing scheme, and the CommuteUoM app – all designed to make getting around simpler and more affordable.
Thinking about cycling? Have a go on a Starling Bank rental bike and check out preloved and hire bikes to find something that suits your style (and budget).
We’ve got you covered on safety too – get your bike registered, get your bike fixed for free, grab a discounted D-lock, and chat to Manchester City Council and cycling organisations about staying safe on the road.
Looking to meet new people? Learn how to set up a bike riding, walking or running group, travel together, and make your commute more social. You can also have your say by taking part in this year’s University travel survey and win a prize.
And if you fancy a quick reset between lectures, join a physio check*, try a beginner Vinyasa Flow session*, or take a relaxed guided tree and heritage walk or wheel* around campus – all free of charge.
Loads to see, try, and get involved in – come down, have a go, and get the most out of your commute.
*Please note physio, yoga, and the heritage walk/wheel require pre-booking.
