Supporting staff and student cycling at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh

[Cycle Connections @QMUcycle]

On Wednesday, we held our second sustainable travel fair- thanks to all of our exhibitors that came along!
Thanks to @WeAreCyclingUK and their Shift fund that made this event happen!
Also, check out Sustrans' @WayToWorkScot website- designed to help you commute sustainably!

Come along to a FREE spin class to try out cycling in the comfort of a gym hall!

We diverted 8.81 tonnes away from landfill in August 🚲

Please don’t scrap your bike at the landfill and send it our way ♻️

Your bike will be fully refurbished, or we’ll reuse parts, and donate the 🚲 to children and adults via our community programmes

Today is #WorldCarFreeDay. While we know it's not possible for everyone to give up driving completely, many of us could choose to cycle or walk more often. Cycling is a cheap, sustainable, healthy, fun way to get around - plus it frees up road space for those who need to drive.

[Cycle Connections @QMUcycle]

Come along on the 29th of September to find the best sustainable transport method for you… and a free food voucher! 🚲🚝🚍🚶‍♀️

Media request! Can you help?

We're working with a national outlet on a story about why the UK roads are in such poor condition. If you have been affected by road defects and would be happy to share your experience, please email [email protected]

There’s a lot going on in the world at the moment which can feel overwhelming for some.

At times like this, it’s important to look out for your wellbeing. Taking time to get some fresh air can help to give your mind something else to focus on 👇
