Staff are also able to get financial assistance if they cycle for work purposes as well as help towards the purchase of a new bike through the University's Cycle to Work Scheme.
The University buys cycle locks and lights in bulk and passes this saving on to University staff and students.
Buy a D-lock or cycle lights (substantial student discount) at The Basket Shop in the Richmond Building or at a University bike lock and light sale. You can also buy discounted D-locks at Royal Fort Lodge during normal opening hours.
