Active travel
Green Templeton encourages active travel in all its forms, with a focus on cycling and walking around Oxford. Each year the college recycles unclaimed bikes and it facilitates bike sales, exchanges, and bike-rental.
The college is in partnership with Byke, a second hand bike sales and rental company run by Oxford students. It’s aim is to provide quality refurbished bikes at the click of a button, and in doing so, reduce the bike wastage in Oxford. They have partnership with 8 colleges plus some other depots across the city, where students and public alike can rent bikes 24/7
