Things don’t get much better than A FREE BIKE! Good old Ride On launched their free bike scheme recently - a great example of the way the charity gives back to the local community and strives to help people use cycling to be healthy, happier and get around the city more easily.
We’re thrilled to support them by donating a D-lock and helmet for each bike winner, helping to keep both rider and bike safe!
... If you know someone worthy of a free bike, read the information here on how to apply:

Find us today at the University of Exeter St. Luke’s for another Dr Bike! We’re offering FREE bike safety checks until 2.30pm today. Don’t let your bike be the one marked as ‘UNSAFE TO RIDE’ - get it checked today! We also have a range of useful bike accessories for sale, including lights, locks and gloves.
Due to the strong winds, our #DrBike today at the University of Exeter Streatham Campus has been CANCELLED.
But don't worry! We'll be at the St Luke's Campus tomorrow from 10.30am to 2.30pm & back on the Streatham campus on Tues March 17th. Don't forget to register with UniCycle, the University bike user group, to book your FREE bike safety check: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/sustainability/t ravel/bike/#tab5
To improve the walking and cycling route, a section of the Exe Estuary Trail will be closed this week for resurfacing.
But this means you’ll have a smoother journey when you visit The Turf when they reopen for the year on Sat 29th Feb!

It’s our first Dr Bike of 2020! We’re here at the University of Exeter by the entrance to the Forum at the Streatham campus offering free bike safety checks for staff and students. We also have a great range of bike accessories from our shop with discounts available for Uni staff and students, thanks to a great promotion from the Sustainability team here.
We’ll be here until 2.30pm and then on the St Luke’s campus tomorrow from 10.30 to 2.30.
Another glorious day here on Exeter Quay! Come and browse our bikes & accessories for sale, hire bikes or even a canoe!
Yesterday we launched our January paddle offer: just quote “WINTER BLUES CANOES” to get 10% off canoe hire for all of January!
But please don’t forget, it’s blimmin’ cold out there, so to avoid any capsizing, we’d suggest confident adult paddlers only.
... Please call ahead to book so we can chat through the current water conditions.
