Our roadshow unit for the FE sector is staffed by student-friendly experts, bringing a variety of information handouts, appealing publications, examples of cycling accessories and, of course, cycles, which anyone on campus can try out. Staff and students can have their own bike attended to by our ‘bicycle doctor’ service, and be shown some basic maintenance tips. We supply a customised publicity poster before the event, and can, on the day of our visit, put an eye-catching static publicity display into the student’s cafeteria.
This service becomes more cost-effective, and has a higher publicity profile if we come for a run of two or three days at once, to a central location on campus. Alternatively bookings involving a run of regular days (eg the first Friday in the month), create a pattern in students’ minds.
You may also wish to consider a Cycle 50% Challenge for your staff. We have provided Challenges for students in the past, but this always involves bike purchase. We can also look at the application of pedal-power generally on your campus, and help advise on bike loan schemes for students.
