Bike
With limited parking at Newcastle City Campus, cycling is a convenient transport choice - plus it's great for your health and one of the most sustainable travel options. With such a beautiful coastline and so much to see and do in our city, cycling is perfect for Novocastrians.
Bike hubs
Bike hubs and end-of-trip facilities, including showers and lockers, are available at University House (next to NUspace) and on the ground floor of Q Building. Lockers are available on a first-come basis and operated with a personally chosen pin that will reset automatically at midnight - there is no secure overnight storage. There is also a bike repair stand and bike pump to assist with urgent repairs at both hubs. These secure facilities are available 24/7 using staff or student ID cards - as soon as your card is activated access to bike hubs is automatically available to you.
Safe Cycling on Campus
Cyclists play an important role in supporting a safe, sustainable and active campus environment. To help keep our community safe, all cyclists are expected to follow NSW road rules and ride responsibly when travelling to, from and around the University of Newcastle. Riders should keep left, use marked bike lanes where available, and always give way to pedestrians on shared paths and footpaths. When moving through high‑traffic areas on campus, cyclists must slow down, ride predictably, and dismount when entering or leaving any University Bike Hub facility in line with the End of Trip (EoT) Terms and Conditions.
While using the Bike Hubs, cyclists must park only in the provided racks, ensure their bicycle does not obstruct others, and use their own secure lock. E‑bikes must not be charged inside Bike Hub facilities, and personal belongings should not be left unattended or stored outside of allocated areas. Riders are reminded not to allow others to tailgate into secure facilities and to report any safety or security concerns to University Security. By following NSW cycling requirements and the University’s Bike Hub Terms and Conditions, cyclists contribute to a safe, respectful and accessible campus for everyone.
