17 Jun 2009, 3:16 AM  | Is it possible to cycle to UWS? You can hide this advertisement by registering. As much as I'm an advocate of public transport, getting to parramatta campus via train or bus is an expensive pain in the rear...Does anyone else bike it from parramatta station? Is it even possible without being collected by a semi? If so, how long's it take and what's the terrain like? Like hell I'm going to pay for a bus 5 days a week. Anything would help

13 Nov 2009, 5:17 PM | Re: Is it possible to cycle to UWS? I've heard some people tried walking, but its still pretty far. Probably take you about half hour of cycling and that's up and down hill. Probably good though, if you're up for the exercise. But bring deoderant incase you smell when you get to class. Otherwise, I'd say give up and take the bus, its not that bad, especially if you're late for a class. It takes 10 minutes by bus and costs 72 cents per trip, but that's if you buy the Blue TravelTen bus ticket which lets you go on the bus 10 times for $7.20 (if you have concession). |

31 Dec 2008, 12:37 AM | Re: Is it possible to cycle to UWS? I don't think its a good idea to cycle from the station to UWS Parra. It would be a bit dangerous seeing as James Ruse Dr & Victoria Rd are so busy, especially during peak hour. Probably best to just catch the train/bus or maybe car pool? |

8 Mar 2008, 1:48 AM | Re: Is it possible to cycle to UWS? ive done that HEAPS of times... well not heaps but i have done it... walking is about 15 min if u take back streets... riding would be heaps easier... you dont have to cross any major road so i dont know why people are talking about the ride on James ruse... victory road is an over road and there is a walk bridge which u can ride across if u are going to the south campus... |

17 Jun 2009, 3:16 AM |  Re: Is it possible to cycle to UWS? it took about 10 minutes following the bus route from the station and it can be sliced by one or 2 if you skip the overpass (probably not smart)... The best part is zooming past the buses going the same way as you as you skip intersections. Another fine example of unsafe riding, brought to you by in idiot. Now be good and wear a helmet
