  2. Cycling • Cycle to work scheme • Get a tax-free bike with Cyclescheme and pay for it over 12 months through salary sacrifice. • The scheme can save you ££’s on the full price of a new bike. • Ucycle bike hire • If you don’t want to buy a bike why not hire one? Staff members and students can hire a bike for just £35 per year (plus £60 refundable deposit). Bikes come with a lock, lights, and regular maintenance checks included. • For more details visit Ecoweb’s Ucycle pages or contact NTU’s Sustainable Transport Officer Dave Hobday on x 86136 or david.hobday@ntu.ac.uk • Cycle Facilities • There are bike stands, lockers and shower facilities on all 3 campuses and more are being added. Maps showing the location of cycle facilities are available on Ecoweb.

  3. Cycling to work safely • Ridewise Training • All members of staff can get exclusive one-to-one training with Ridewise absolutely free as part of the Ucycle project. For more details contact the Environment Team. • Route Planning • Transport Direct have created a great route planner to help you find the quickest, quietest and most recreational routes to get to work, or anywhere else, quickly and safely. • Mileage Allowance • Members of staff can claim 20p per mile when using your bike on University business. So if you have to travel between campuses it pays to use a bike!

Bus and Tram Travel • All three campuses are well served by public transport • Brackenhurst: the 100 service stops right outside the campus. • Clifton: The Go2Uni 4 runs between city and Clifton campuses from every 7 minutes during term time via Nottingham Railway Station and Trent Bridge.

See the NET website for more details. • Nottingham’s tram network is expanding with Phase Two due to be complete in 2015. For further information visit NET’s dedicated Phase Two website.
