Cycling on Campus

Cycling is a great way to get around Royal Holloway and the local area. Not only does it help you to get fit and healthy but it's a great way to help the environment - getting you out of your car and into the saddle.

We're lucky to be in an area with dedicated cycle paths linking Egham and Englefield Green to our neighbouring towns and villages, including Staines, Windsor and Virginia Water. As well as being in ideal method of transportation, cycling allows you to explore our surroundings, and if cycling for you is for leisure, why not visit Great Windsor Park for a traffic free environment to ride in?

Royal Holloway has over 600 spaces to park your bike throughout the Main Campus (outside the Windsor Building, Students' Union, New Halls and more) as well as at off-campus sites, Kingswood, Penrose and Highfield. Many of these spaces are covered so your bike stays safe and dry. Showers are available for all cyclists at the Sports Centre or in Founders' East 127.

If you're new to cycling or would like to find out more about cycling in the local area or on campus, have a look at some of the handy links below. Alternately, feel free to get in touch with our Sustainibility Manager, Anna Kostelotos, on anna.kostelotos@rhul.ac.uk|

Royal Holloway's Bike Users Group meets twice a year to discuss how campus cycling facilities can be improved. The BUG is also consulted on new policies and projects that may affect cyclists. If you are interested in joining the group, or would like some more information on what we've been up to so far, please contact Anna Simpson, the College Sustainability Officer, by calling 01784 414 4926, or email her at anna.simpson@rhul.ac.uk|
