Cycling
Cycling on campus? And why not! Economical, practical and good for your health, there is no shortage of arguments in favour of the use of two wheels. Saddle up!
Cycling routes
If you wish to reach the campuses of Liège and Gembloux by bicycle, here is a series of routes validated by the ULiège cycling community. These routes use as much as possible the existing cycling facilities and secondary roads.
These routes can be consulted online and downloaded (gpx format) to be used with a GPS.
To encourage the use of bicycles for home/campus journeys, the University of Liège has produced a "cycle map" which makes it possible to estimate the journey time between the ULiège sites and the neighbouring communes.
