A high pressure hot wash was also used to remove the residue dirt. The 20th June 2001 will be Bike to Work Day. This is a national initiative which is aimed at encouraging more and more people to leave their cars at home and get to work under their own steam. More British people own a bicycle than ever before and cycling is growing in popularity, but of the 20 million cycles in the UK many are used only rarely. A bicycle is often the fastest and most convenient means of transport for journeys of up to 10 miles in urban areas.
Cyclists reduce traffic congestion and parking demand.
There will be a number of events going on all over the University campus including free breakfast for all people who cycle to work on that day. Dr Bike will be in Fulton Court between 10am and 3pm offering a free bike service. There are also organised bikes rides in from Lewes or Brighton. From the Autumn term new general teaching spaces will be available for use. A room in Arts E and five rooms in Mantell are to be converted and two rooms in EDB will become new GTS spaces.
