Cycling

Feel great, save money and reduce your ecological footprint. Find out why hundreds of students and staff cycle to university every day.

Cycling Safety

Around 600 cyclists share the University's paths each day with pedestrians, and make the most of a superb cycling environment – safely. If you see any hazards or problems on campus, please contact us.

If you see hazards or problems on the roads or cycleways around Wollongong you may like to report them to Wollongong City Council. An iPhone App called Snap Send Solve can help you send a photo and gps location directly. 

The Bicycleinfo website has a great section for NSW cyclists to "Report a cycle safety hazard". This function has been created to service all of NSW to ensure hazards are reported and directed to the appropriate authority.

Bike Parking

Bike racks span the campuses to ensure cycle parking is convenient, uncongested and safe. Secure parking is also available on the Wollongong and Innovation Campuses.
