Access to bikes, cycle parking & storage

Campus Cycling Officer

In 2024-25, Cycling Scotland continued to support educational institutions improve their campuses for cycling, by expanding staff capacity through Campus Cycling Officers, made possible through Strathclyde Partnership for Transport’s People and Place Programme. 

This provided two paid internships for Campus Cycling Officers supporting Glasgow Kelvin College, University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Art. 

At Glasgow Kelvin College, the Officer worked extensively with key local stakeholders to increase cycling to and around campus by installing three new cycle parking facilities including a unit specifically for an adapted bike used by supported learning students, organising cycle training and led rides, increasing access to bikes, and promoting the use of existing cycling infrastructure.

The University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Art were supported to promote current cycling assets, install two new cycle storage units, run engagement events, and collect data.

The Officer also successfully secured funding to purchase a cargo bike for the catering team which will replace short van journeys around an increasingly pedestrianised campus, reducing emissions, allowing staff to be more active as part of their work, elevating the profile of cycling on campus.
