The University is launching a ‘Brighten Up’ campaign to encourage staff and students to be safe and be seen when cycling in the autumn and winter months. A series of events, funded by The University of Nottingham, will be held across University campuses next week:-
- Monday 19th October 12–2pm – Medical School Foyer
- Tuesday 20th October 12–2pm – Portland Atrium, University Park
- Wednesday 21st October 12–2pm – The Barn, Sutton Bonington
- Thursday 22nd October 12–2pm – King's Meadow restaurant
- Friday 23rd October 12–2pm – Exchange Building, Jubilee Campus
University staff and RideWise instructors will be available to give advice on lighting, hi-visibility clothing and cycling in the damp and dark. Staff and students attending will be able to collect hi-visibility equipment and free lights provided by the University, Nottinghamshire Police and members of the Sustainable Travel Collective (the Big Wheel and RideWise).
For similar advice, watch Ridewise's safe winter cycling video or take a look at our Brighten Up page.
The campaign aims to remind University students and staff to ‘Brighten Up’ whilst cycling - before daylight hours are reduced on 25th October 2015.
