Use of hire bikes on University Business
Staff members may use the hire bikes when travelling on University business, for example between campuses.
When doing so, the University expects you
- to have ability and up-to-date cycling skills. Please see also Cycling Scotland's 'Essential Cycling Skills'
- consider the appropriateness of cycling in darkness and/or rain, snow, high winds or other weather conditions that may decrease visibility
- wherever possible, to take routes that are not on-road, segregated or quiet routes. Please see 'Recommended routes and more cycling information'
- to wear a helmet and a high-visibility waistcoat. If you do not own them, they are provided by the University for free for those using the hire bicycles on University Business. Please email to obtain them.
-> Please note! This offer is only available to staff members who use the hire bikes for business (not commuting) travel.
As these bicycles are hired and not property of the users, no mileage expenses claim for cycling can be made.
