The Keele Campus and surrounding areas offer
great opportunities to get out and about on your
bike. Throughout the Halls of Residence there are
a number of secure bicycle stores for use by
students. You can register your bicycle and
obtain keys for individual storage units from the
Student Accommodation Office in the Darwin
Building by showing your KeeleCard and on
payment of a refundable £10 deposit. You will be
reimbursed for the deposit upon return of the
receipt and the key. Cycles are left at your own
risk, so make sure yours is insured (it is not
covered by your campus room insurance).
There are covered storage areas for cycles at
Hawthorns, Holly Cross/Oaks, Lindsay, Horwood,
and at Barnes.
Most academic buildings on campus have
covered cycle racks and there is a flourishing
Keele Cycle Group for support, advice
and arrange occasional social cycle rides
(www.keele.ac.uk/kc). Most local cycle
shops offer a discount to Keele students.
And for those who don’t have a bike with them at
Keele, KeeleSU Activities run ‘Keele-on-Wheels’,
a bike scheme providing students with free short
term cycle hire. For more information,
