Given the headlines about the environment and the cost of commuting, it's not surprising that many of us are turning to two wheels for getting to and from campus. Cycling isn't just a great way to keep fit - it can also be a quicker way of travelling than some of London's other transport options.
If you're thinking of cycling to and from campus, you can save on the cost of a bike (plus equipment) with Cyclescheme. Get a quote from a participating retailer near you, request your voucher through the Cyclescheme website, and redeem the voucher to pick up your bike. You pay back the cost of the bike via deductions from your gross salary, which can mean a saving of up to 30%! For full details about how the scheme works, take a look at this webpage which is maintained by the Payroll team.
There are a number of cycle parking and shower facilities around campus, as well as open access cycle parking spaces bordering the campus on Kingsway and Alwych. All LSE halls of residence also have cycle parking facilities. Please see this webpage for more details about what's available on and near campus.
Cycle to work is just one of the ways in which you can keep your work commute green. For more inspiration, take a look at the School's Sustainability webpages.
