cycling in march at the university of nottingham
TRANSCRIPT
It's the cycle of life!Since 2009, we at Sustrans have been working with the University of Nottingham, the Hospital Trust,
Nottingham Trent University and 3 FE colleges, in partnership with Nottingham City Council and the
Greater Nottingham Transport Partnership. We've been helping people at those organisations choose
cycling as a way of commuting to work.
At the end of this month (March 2015), the current funding for our project comes to an end - but that's not
the end of the story! Later this month we'll be sending a special newsletter to update you on what will be
happening at the University from April onwards.

Batman Bike Bus!To celebrate the completion of the project we will
be holding one last Bike Bus ride on the 27th of
March! This ride will take a visit to the home of
Batman, Wollaton Hall, and a tour of the lake and
wildlife and deer around the park.
The ride will start at 5pm sharp from the top of
East Drive and finish back on Uni Park at
6pm. It will be a steady pace and a fun social
ride with beautiful scenery. The days are getting
£50 for a bit of box clicking! The University has launched its staff and student
travel survey to understand more about how you
travel to, from and between University sites so
that we can improve access to our campuses.
A prize draw is open to everyone who completes
the survey and chooses to provide their email
address, with a chance to win one of five £50
Victoria Centre gift cards!
The survey should only take around five minutes
longer too so the ride will all be in day light. If
you need a bike for the ride just email me and I
can get one reserved for you. Check out the
potential route here.
Loyal Ucyclers, we need your input.The project in its current form will be coming to
an end at the end of this month but we want your
fantastic input to continue. We would greatly
appreciate it if you can come along to the Ucycle
forum meeting to discuss the future of the
project, get your thoughts on what should happen
and obviously eat some celebratory cake!
The meeting will be held on the 25th of March
from 5-6pm in Portland B37. If you can only
attend for part of the meeting or just want to pop
by for some cake and a little chat that's fine by
us.
If you plan to attend please send me an email.
