West Midlands Police will be selling d-locks and security tagging bikes on every Wednesday lunchtime in the Police Room next to Spar in University Centre..
Unfortunately bike theft is always a problem around campus so West Midlands Police are working with the University to reduce it.
D-locks (the Police recommended secure bike lock) are being sold at a heavily subsidised rate in an effort to reduce the number of bikes being locked up with inadequate locks. £15 for staff, £10 for students
A programme of five 2 hour sessions giving a complete course of beginner cycle maintenance is being held at the Munrow Sports Centre. The sessions will guide you through basic bike maintenance, detailing how to check your bike is safe to ride and in good working order, how to fix a puncture and replace inner tubes, how to adjust brakes and gears and much more.
