GIVE IT A GO!

Welcome to the give it a go homepage!

Here at the RSU we give you the opportunity to get involved with a multiplicity of activities or something new and different that you haven’t tried before. The diversity of Roehampton shows that you don’t need to party all night long just to have a good time! There are four main area’s that section ‘give it a go’

On Your Bike!

Ever felt that Richmond Park is just too large to walk all the way around on foot? Ever decided against a trip to Richmond because the bus is always too busy and stuffy to ride? That could now all change! This year is set to be the first year in where the RSU introduce a brand new bike pool for students to do exactly what they should be doing. Having the opportunity to freely ride around the local area and witness some of the most prestigious sights you wouldn’t normally see on foot.

With the environment in its ever changing ways, this new bike pool is a fantastic way to help reduce Roehampton’s carbon footprint and show other Universities across the country that Roehampton is playing its part in trying to go green and help the environment.

‘On Your Bike’ is the new scheme put forward by the RSU where students can rent out a bike and step out (or ride outside) the Roehampton gates and enjoy a peaceful ride around one of the most prestigious parks in London, Richmond park, or a relaxing river ride along the River Thames.

The procedure is simple:

1. Fill in a disclaimer form at RSU reception.
2. Make sure you have completed everything on the checklist provided.
3. Hand in your £10 deposit along with your student card to reception
4. Get the keys, high visibility jacket and lights from reception and ride away!
5. Hand in your keys back to RSU reception before 5pm weekdays.

No gimmicks, no catches - ‘On Your Bike’ is a brand new free bike scheme which benefits you! Hope to see you riding around in the near future whilst the days are still light!
