If you don’t have your own bike, you can hire one of our Swansea University Cycles.
There are hubs located at:
- Singleton Campus
- Bay Campus
- Fabian Way Park & Ride
- Knab Rock at the Mumbles
- Oystermouth at the Mumbles
Where Can I Go?
You can go anywhere you like – it's up to you! The bikes really are a great way of getting around and exploring Swansea. Maybe you'd like to take in the sights of Mumbles, or enjoy a gentle ride along Swansea promenade? If you're looking for some ride inspiration, have a look at this handy electronic cycle route map.
Just make sure you return your Swansea University Cycles to an official docking station when you’re done, and press the frame lock lever down to lock the bike. If you return your bike away from a station, a service fee will be charged.

If you’re registered with a personal email address (other than @swansea.ac.uk):
If you registered using your own personal email address, the system will not recognise you as a student or staff member at Swansea Uni.
