University Cycle Forum - working for cyclists
We look forward to making 2013 a great cycling year for all Students and Staff.
Our next meeting will be on the Monday the 8th April, 12:30 in the John Hawley Room , CiCS, 10-12 Brunswick St - upstream of the Transport Policy Group so we can feed any concerns through.
Our last meeting was on Thursday, December 13th at 12:30 in the CiCS Boardroom, also known as the John Hawley Room, ground floor, 10-12 Brunswick St. We formally opened the Wheeling Ramp between Brunswick St and the Concourse and took a look at the Cycle Hut and there were mince pies. The Agenda is here.
The University Cycle Forum gives an opportunity for staff and students to have an input into the continuing development of the University Transport Policy, and influence the setting of priorities for expenditure on cycling issues from Transport Policy income. The Group is represented on the City Cycle Forum and therefore has direct input into the decision making process on cycling issues at a city-wide level.
The university is pleased to promote cycling as a sustainable alternative to the use of the private car.
We offer free cycle training to staff, and students can take advantage of free cycle training offered by Sheffield City Council. Even if you've cycled regularly in other parts of the country, you may find that Sheffield with its hills is quite different to cycle in, and a training session will get off to a good start!
To keep up to date with cycling news, events and issues around the campus, in the city and beyond, have a look at the cyclesheffielduni group on uSpace. The Cycling Events calendar is an 'at-a-glance' view of what's going on as well.
