A greater number of staff at Dundee University can now pedal their way to work thanks to a new bike shelter which opened this week.
Up to 50 members of staff now have the option to lock their bikes under cover at the new shelter, which cost around £15,000.
The Tayside and Central Scotland Transport Network provided £5000 of funding while the university met the remainder.
Carrying out the ribbon-cutting honours was Colin McNally, director of campus services at the university.
He said the new shelter was necessary because the number of staff travelling to work by bicycle had soared in the past three years.
“This is great for all the staff who commute by bicycle every day and shows again how keen the university is to promote sustainable travel,” he said.
“The shelter has been built to meet demand, as we had a waiting list of staff requiring secure bike parking.
“Three years ago, approximately 100 members of staff were cycling to work every day and over 400 are now.
“Cycling to work has benefits for all it’s good for the environment because it helps lower carbon emissions, it’s good for the cyclists financially and for their physical and mental wellbeing.
“And it’s good for the university as it reduces the number of cars on campus and reduces our footprint.”
