New Co Bikes and Co Cars Station arrives at the Exeter College Digital and Data Centre
Exeter College is proud to be working with Co Bikes and Co Cars to enable staff and students a sustainable way to travel across the city. A Co Bikes station was recently installed at the Future Skills Centre and we are delighted to announce that the latest installation is at the new Digital and Data Centre at Exeter College’s Hele Road site.
Steven Strang, Director of Estates and Information Technology at Exeter College said;
“We are excited to build on our partnership with Co Cars and Co Bikes with the latest installation outside our new Digital and Data Centre on our Hele Road campus. Their ethos around sustainable travel aligns with our own goals so we are delighted that we are able to offer staff and students this option when travelling between sites.”
Co Bikes is the UK’s first on-demand electric bike scheme based in Exeter and Falmouth and during 2020 saw a 400% increase in usage. The Co Bikes network is powered by nextbike, who operate shared bike schemes in 200 cities around the world. Because Co Bikes are electrically assisted, they make cycling a breeze, even uphill.
Their ethos around sustainable travel aligns with our own goals so we are delighted that we are able to offer staff and students this option when travelling between sites.

Mark Hodgson, Co Cars and Co Bikes managing director said;
“We’re extremely proud to continue building our relationship with Exeter College with the recent installation of our Co Bikes station plus Co Cars electric cars at the Hele Road campus.
“The prominent positioning of our electric cars and e-bikes at this site allows us to not only extend our shared mobility network but also to help younger generations think about how they can travel more sustainably.”
“Our Co Bikes, in particular, are a great way for both staff and students to travel between campuses with ease as well as offering a fun and quick alternative for trips across the city. Both the cars and e-bikes are also available for any of our members to use.”
