We usually meet 12:30-13:30 on the first Tuesday of the month. Email umbug@manchester.ac.uk for more information and the date and location of our next meeting. Issues discussed at meetings include:

• event organisation (including the corridor Annual Cycle Event usually held in June);
• UMBUG promotion and communication;
• current cycling infrastructure and working with Estates;
• campus cycling routes;
• flexible cycling and promoting modal change from cars to bikes.

 

The idea…
