Coventry university

just got through all the bumf about my accomodation at Coventry University.
im starting a nursing course there in September.
under the heading "some more of your accomodation questions answered" is
this:

Q- I want to bring my bicycle to Coventry.
A- There is no student bicycle storage in the University-owned or managed
accomodation and you are therefore strongly advised not to bring a bicycle
to the University.


well i usually ignore advice anyway, lets just hope i dont get stuck in one
of the tower block halls of residence.

also, i live in yardley Birmingham at the mo and am planning to hop back and
forth on the bike most weekends. any route suggestions.

and how do you people who live in Cov cope with the ringroad? it was a
nitemare in the car.

cheers
bob.

That's very public spirited of them! It might be worth checking if there
is a bicycle user group that can campaign for cycle provision within the
university.

Of course you could always get yourself a folder with your first grant^W
loan cheque.

Should have gone to Southampton for Nursing:

Just won a CTC award for their support of cycling including smartcard
accessed bike sheds on campus and at halls, rescue service, bikes on the
buses, showers and a cycle recycling scheme.

What a ridiculous idea! Student loans are for beer, everyone knows
that....

Sounds like a good reason to go elsewhere. I wonder if Coventry is
in hock to its local death industry?

Is there parking for MDGs? If so you might like to comment on the
irony of coercing future health workers into using a mode of transport
which is partly responsible for the fact that heart disease is
Britain's biggest killer.

I think so. Remember this is the city where in 1996 the cathedral
held a service to worship the car.
