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 enclosures on campus

The campus has over forty enclosures with enough storage for more than 2000 bikes. View the bike enclosure map to find the nearest location of a bicycle shelter.

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

How to sell or donate your bike

Many bikes in perfect working condition are abandoned on campus each year. There are many ways to sell or donate your bike such as:

• Gumtree, eBay and Facebook Marketplace are great ways to sell or give away your unwanted bike.

Abandoned bikes

Bikes believed to be abandoned will be removed from campus, in line with the Uncollected Goods Act, by Campus Environment.

Road rules

ACT road rules apply on campus which means all cyclists must wear a helmet. If you are involved in a car or bike crash, slip or fall, it's important that you email ANU Security.
