Pool Bike Scheme

This is a pilot scheme, currently only open to staff working at St. Luke’s campus. This scheme will be administered by the St. Luke’s Porters.

You will not be charged to use the pool bike. You have a choice of a ladies’ small hybrid or a medium gents’ hybrid.

Short Guide on How to Book a Pool Bike

To become a registered pool bike you will need to:

• Have an induction (performed by St. Luke’s Porters)
• Read Detailed Guidance Notes 
  
• Fill in New Pool Bike User Form (held in the Pool Bike Folder in the St. Luke’s Porters’ Lodge)

Once you have registered you will need to:

• Check the Pool Bike & accessories in and out by signing the Checking In and Out Form (held in the Pool Bike Folder in the St. Luke’s Porters’ Lodge)
• Please note you may only use the Pool Bikes during the working day (7am – 6.30pm) and must return the Pool Bike on the same day in which you checked it out.

Useful Information and Resources

You can book a Pool Bike in advance by visiting the St. Luke’s Porters Lodge and filling in the booking form (you will need to be a registered user).  An electronic booking system is currently being developed.

A cycle parking map is available to illustrate where you can park the Pool Bike on Streatham Campus. A paper copy is available on request from the St. Luke’s Porters Lodge

Please note that you will not be able to claim cycle mileage while using the University Pool Bike.

An Exeter City cycle map is available for you to use and is included in the accessories provided to you when leasing the Pool Bike. You can also plan your route using this cycle route planner.

As a registered Pool Bike User you will be signed up to the University’s bike user group (Unicycle) which will enable you to receive information relating to cycling to and from the Exeter campuses, cycle related events, and more. You can be as involved as you like and you are free to opt out of this group. You will receive on average one or two emails from Unicycle each month. As your email address will initially be captured on paper, your details will be added to the mailing list at periodic intervals, so if you wish to be added straight away please email Julia Jack.

If you also have any questions or feedback on the scheme, please email Julia Jack (Travel Plan Coordinator).
