I can come and go on my own terms, when I want to travel. Whether I\u2019m going to town or going to do my shopping or even just cycling between campuses\u2019, I can get to places much faster and more conveniently than if I was walking or relying on public transport. It&#8217;s great that I don&#8217;t have to pay any cost of transport too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout campus there are plenty of places to lock up your bike. Most buildings have places to lock up outside so you are never too far from your bike! Some of these areas are sheltered too, so your bike can stay dry if the weather is bad. There are also places to lock up your bike all over the city centre, so, wherever it is you are cycling too, you can always leave your bike close to you. Even at the train station there are many secure places to leave your bike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34410 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_928354.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"IMG_9283.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_928354-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_928354-rotated.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Safety<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">York is repeatedly ranked as one of the top 10 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk\/student-advice\/where-to-study\/how-safe-is-your-city\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">safest cities in England and Wales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> so I feel confident that my bike is safe when I leave it on campus, at the supermarket or in town. There are sheltered, and locked bike sheds for most colleges, accessible only for students using your key, ensuring your bike is locked away safely when you aren&#8217;t using it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In and around campus, there are separate cycle paths which separate the bike route from cars. Even going into town there are separate cycle lanes which I have found drivers always respect! The main streets are always well lit so you can continue cycling even through the darker winter months too. This makes me feel a lot more comfortable when I&#8217;m riding my bike and more confident, especially in winter, as I am separated from the faster moving cars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34411 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_931372.jpg?resize=171%2C300\" alt=\"IMG_9313.jpg\" width=\"171\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_931372.jpg?resize=171%2C300&amp;ssl=1 171w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_931372.jpg?resize=582%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 582w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_931372.jpg?w=728&amp;ssl=1 728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fun!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I bought my bike to York on move in day and I have used it every week since. Even my friends have seen the value in having a bike at uni and have now bought theirs with them. By cycling through York I definitely got to familiarise myself with the city much faster than I otherwise would have. I find the uni is situated perfectly to have a campus feel, while only being a 20 minute cycle to town (for me) &#8211; it&#8217;s really the best of both worlds! It&#8217;s ideal that York isn&#8217;t too hilly either!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether I\u2019m going to the supermarket, meeting a friend, commuting to campus, or going into town I always travel on my bike.\u00a0 Getting to cycle around York, through the wall, by the Minster and past the shambles is such a privilege and an amazing way to see the best parts of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34412\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_853316.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"IMG_8533.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_853316.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/img_853316.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since campus is only a short way away from the city centre, cycling is the perfect way to get around and York is definitely one of the most cycle friendly city and campus&#8217; you can be as a student.\u00a0 Convenience Having my bike at uni with me means I no longer have to rely on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,707,8,1031,745],"tags":[1440,108,270,1439,144,255,118],"class_list":{"0":"post-34413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-campus-life","7":"category-settling-in","8":"category-study","9":"category-ug","10":"category-why-york","11":"tag-bike","12":"tag-campus-life","13":"tag-city-life","14":"tag-cycling","15":"tag-student-life","16":"tag-transport","17":"tag-why-i-chose-york","18":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A cycle friendly city and campus - Student Voices<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Campus is so close to York city centre and cycling is a great way for students to travel.
