How can I save money on the cost of a bicycle and bicycle accessories?You can get low cost, high quality reconditioned second hand bikes from Lifecycle or Bristol Bike Project.
You can also buy second hand bikes at the Bike Workshop and Jake's Bikes.
Staff are also able to get financial assistance if they cycle for work purposes as well as help towards the purchase of a new bike through the University's Cycle to Work Scheme.
The University buys cycle locks and lights in bulk and passes this saving on to University staff and students.
During term time cycle locks and lights sales take place once every four weeks alongside the Cycle Clinic or you can buy a cycle lock or cycle light from the Student's Union shop, The Basket, located on the Ground Floor, next to the Balloon Cafe in The Richmond Building
