Hire a bike for the term from the Cycle Hub Wednesday 9 May and Friday 11 May, 9.00-16.00.
Each bike has been security tagged and is registered to the University of Kent. They all come equipped with lights, a bell and a lock and have received a full service – they are as good as new and are ready to ride!
The cost to hire one of the recycled bikes is £30 for the term, £20 for the shorter summer term. You need to leave a security deposit of £50-£100 depending on the value of the bike you hire. This will be refunded when you return the bike in good condition. To help, we ask that you pop into the Cycle Hub and see Dr Bike at least once each term for a service.
For more information on the hiring a bike visit www.kent.ac.uk/transport/cycling/hire

Parking enforcement
We would like to remind you that parking enforcement is in operation outside of term-time. A valid parking permit or pay and display parking ticket must be displayed 8.00-17.00 Monday to Friday, as per the Traffic Regulations.
Why do I need to switch the active vehicle on my permit?
Only the active vehicle will show as having a valid permit on Campus Security’s handheld enforcement devices. Therefore it is important that you have the correct registration as your active vehicle.
How to switch the active vehicle on your permit
To switch the active vehicle on your permit, login to the permit system, select “my permits” and select the green vehicle icon. If you have two vehicles on your permit record press “switch vehicle”. If you have more than two vehicles, untick your vehicle and tick your new active vehicle.
