Cycle to Work
If you have thought about cycling to work, why not join our easy paced group rides from Wantage or Didcot to the Campus? A free breakfast will be served at DiSH on Curie Avenue.
Fed up with paying through the nose for petrol? – Why not cycle to work, save your money, get the many mental and physical health benefits and get a predictable journey time. No need for petrol, cyclists run on food and drink (fuel with no tax or VAT). As an introductory offer we will ‘fill your tank’ for free with a cyclists breakfast at DiSH.
Not Cycled to the Campus for a While? – Get back in the saddle and check out the improvements to the Campus routes, a new route from Wantage and a traffic free Chilton Road at Upton from Didcot.
Hybrid Working? – Why not make your Campus working days cycle to work days?
