Getting here by bike
Edinburgh
is home to an expanding network of cycle paths, making travelling by bike a
great option for getting to campus. We have created a YouTube playlist showing cycle routes to and from Sighthill campus.
There
are many different route options for travelling between our sites. What we've
shown in our films are the routes that, as far as possible, use off road
cycling, walking and wheeling. Visit www.cyclestreets.net for
more options including on-road routes.
There are 150 bicycle spaces at Sighthill, 100 within covered and secure areas and 50 uncovered. There is CCTV throughout the site.
Sighthill has three secure, locked shelters around the building. One under the main entrance, one at the top of the car park and one at the ENGAGE sports centre entrance. To gain access, visit security on the first floor to have your student card activated. At the bike store, tap your card on the reader to open the door.
