KEELE KEY FUND KEELE ON WHEELS The Keele Key Fund has helped KeeleSU set up a Bike Hire Scheme. A fleet of four bikes can be hired for a day, or up to seven days at a time. The scheme was launched at the end of the 2014 academic year. Bikes were hired an amazing 34 times during the summer holidays and a further 33 times in September. Once the 2014/2015 academic year started the number of bike hire bookings exceeded all expectations! The bikes are used by students for activities, trips, charity rides, commuting to jobs and even for short cycling holidays. Keele-on-Wheels also offers cycle training and affordable cycle maintenance. We are looking at new ways to enhance the scheme and offer greater benefits to students by increasing the number of bikes available for hire and adding a second storage unit. KeeleSU thanks our alumni for funding this amazing project. Bikes can be hired by alumni when visiting the campus at www.keelesu.com/activities/keeleonwheels Forever Keele 2015 | 53
