Travelling by bike is an alternative and there are many cycle lines around the University and Manchester. For all things bike related, find details here. If you would like to hire a bikedetails are available here. Getting the passengers on board was another practice, practice, practice situation. Before we started we popped helmets on the children, safety first, always. When your dare-devil passenger first begins to learn to ride the unirider, like any such toy (balance bike, bicycle, scooter), it will take a few practices to achieve complete confidence and balance.

Always keen to excite and innovate, Mountain Buggy have already created the freerider ride on board which doubles up as a scooter. Now, a clever father from the UK has worked with Mountain Buggy to introduce us to possibly the most innovative ride on mode of transport ever created for toddlers. We've been putting smiles of freedom on our toddler's faces by using the unirider with a 2 year old and a 3 year old. Design The TOTUM Card will give you discounts at many restaurants, online shops, travel companies, driving schools and more! So it's definitely a case of practice makes perfect when it comes to the unirider. As we whizzed around the house (without any passengers on board!) we found a definite art to the steering and driving of the unirider. The unirider only has its one wheel to balance on and it was hard to get used to keeping balance in straight lines on this small surface area - not to mention when we tried to turn corners! We did find that a bit of speed and momentum helped with this though! However, in October 2023, the University is committed to reviewing actual numbers of casual staff for 2023-24 with the intention of offering some eligibility for the subsidised Bay Flexi products for 2023-24. This is in recognition of casual staff employment commuter travel requirements. Details will be announced later in October following further engagement with the staff unions. If you are travelling abroad, the ISIC card provides students with thousands of discounts on food, shopping and cultural activities.Please note, these discounts are only available when purchasing directly from the University and not from the Stagecoach Travelshop or online. General information GREEN route runs every 20 minutes from Sowton Park & Ride – St Luke’s - City Centre - Matford Park & Ride. As a one of the kind, brand new product to the market, it is hard to compare the design of the unirider to anything else out there. One thing is for sure, the design is innovative and takes a huge great big stride outside the box. The unirider arrives in a compact, neat little box and takes approximately three minutes to assemble. We built the unirider with the ‘help' of two very eager toddlers who were hankering after a turn on this incredible new mode of transport! The visual instructions are extremely easy to follow. The main body of the unirider consists of a 12" air filled wheel, surrounded by a hard and durable bright yellow seat unit. All local bus services from the University are operated by Stagecoach, with whom the University has developed a close working partnership. This partnership helps ensure the best possible service and support for students travelling to campus by bus. A prioritised campus-to-city bus service, new lower emission buses and discounted bus travel are just some of the benefits being realised through the partnership.

The 4 and 4A bus services runs every 12 minutes between: Cranbrook - Honiton Rd Park & Ride - St Luke's Campus - Exeter City Centre bus station - Exeter Central railway station - Exeter St David's railway station. It is undeniable that the overall design of the unirider is innovative and it is certainly pleasing to the eye and fun looking for the children. Coming in one colour option of yellow, the unirider will suit both boys and girls. The high quality materials feel tough and durable and not in the slightest bit flimsy. Like many of the other products that Mountain Buggy produce, the unirider is certainly built to withstand a tough life at the hands of our children and the most rugged of lifestyles. Driveability & RideabilityOnce your child has got the hang of riding the unirider, it turns into a fun filled bonding experience for parent and child if you dare to try new things together such as going over tiny bumps and over rougher terrain. Use it to travel to a your part time job, an energising gym class out socialising or exploring a new area at the weekend - there are no usage limits, so you can use it as much or as little as you want.
