I don't see why not, I was planning on bringing mine. Though Exeter is also quite hilly, which I'll have to get used to!

if you're used to riding a bike, then i'd bring one down. especially if you're based on st lukes, as it'll be easier for you to get into town and onto main campus etc when you need to. its also a bit of a laugh - i know a load of guys in my halls used to just go out on bike rides when they were bored at the weekend - oddly had a right laugh!

Exeter is easy enough to walk around really. Bikes could be useful I guess, but don't forget its not particularly flat here :wink:

Public transport is also pretty reasonable, you will most probably spend most of your time in Exeter itself so walking is the preferred mode of transport, apart from those drunken cab rides :p:

Yep, it's perhaps a bit hilly here for a bike...I'd say if you bring one, you're either brave, stupid, or extremely fit...
