Bike to College Day
The DIT Smarter Travel Working Group is coordinating a Bike to College Day on Tuesday, May 4th with a range of activities and events during the day to encourage staff and students to get on their bikes. DIT already has a very high proportion of cyclists, and the activities are designed to encourage the 12% of the college population who cycle occasionally to become regular cyclists. The activities are described below:
Tuesday, May 4th

- The first 300 cyclists into college will get a free Insomnia tea/coffee.
- Free Cycle maintenance and safety class in DIT Bolton St at 1.00pm with Free Pizza
- Free Cycle maintenance and safety class in DIT Kevin St at 2.15pm with Free Pizza
