Cycling to UNSW delivers a range of benefits
- Improved health and wellbeing through daily movement, time spent outdoors and space to disconnect from work or study
- Financial savings compared to driving or public transport. UNSW staff can access also e-bike rebates through UNSW’s salary sacrifice with Sparque.
- Positive climate impact by switching from fossil-fuel powered mode of transport to leg-powered active travel, contributing to cleaner air and less traffic congestion.
Plan your next ride
- Get a bike: Start with second-hand options on Marketplace, Gumtree, or Revolve Recycling
