Lincoln City footballers, Sam Habergham and Paul Farman, helped to relaunch the University’s hire bike scheme this month, unveiling a brand new fleet of 70 bikes.
The CycLin scheme, which is run in partnership with Halfords, allows staff and students to hire bikes on an annual, biannual, or monthly basis. General maintenance of the bikes is included in the cost of the hire and provided by Halfords along with third party liability insurance.
Both Sam and Paul are keen cyclists, and will act as cycling ambassadors over the next year to champion the initiative and talk to users of the scheme.
The costs of the scheme are set out below.
| Hire Duration | Cost | Deposit |
| 12 months | £50 | £50 |
| 6 months | £30 | £50 |
| 1 month | £12 | £50 |
As well as the 35 male and 35 female bikes, the scheme is also trialling a small fleet of new mountain bikes.
