Great news, Swansea University has been given Gold accreditation for being a Cycle friendly employer for the 4th year in a row.
The Cycling UK Cycle Friendly Employer award is the European benchmark for active travel culture and infrastructure in the workplace. Entrants are judged on their cycle-friendly culture, infrastructure, and policies to achieve a gold, silver or bronze award.
In the past 12 months we have been busy:
- Holding regular Cycling Roadshows on campus for students and staff, to promote cycling as a safe, affordable, sustainable, and healthy way to travel to and from campus.
- Handing out Free locks and lights to students at the Cycling Roadshows to promote safe cycling.
- Working with local retailers to promote various bike and cycling accessory discounts.
- Affording access to a Cycle to Work salary sacrifice scheme for staff, in partnership with local cycling retailer, Cycle Solutions.
- Developing a team of Ride Leaders on campus who have arranged and led rides throughout the year to students and staff (and the local community), including guided rides to and from campus, and to local areas such as the City Centre and Mumbles.
- Holding regular bus and cycle user groups sessions on campus throughout the year, to which students and staff can bring and voice their queries and concerns about cycling and bus travel.
So, with beautiful weather forecast for the weekend (just check first), why not get out on your bike and explore the cycling routes in and around Swansea.
Show us your favourite places to cycle, your favourite location to stop off for coffee……..

Gwobr Cyflogwr sy’n ystyriol o beicio Cycling DU yw’r meincnod Ewropeaidd ar gyfer diwylliant a seilwaith teithio llesol yn y gweithle. Caiff ymgeiswyr eu barnu ar eu diwylliant, eu seilwaith a’u polisïau sy’n ystyriol o feiciau er mwyn ennill gwobr aur, arian neu efydd.
Yn ystod y 12 mis diwethaf rydym wedi bod yn brysur:
- Cynnal Sioeau Teithiol Beicio rheolaidd ar y campws i fyfyrwyr a staff, i hyrwyddo beicio fel ffordd ddiogel, fforddiadwy, gynaliadwy ac iach o deithio i’r campws ac oddi yno.
- Dosbarthu cloeon a goleuadau am ddim i fyfyrwyr yn y Sioeau Teithiol Beicio i hyrwyddo beicio diogel.
- Gweithio gyda manwerthwyr lleol i hyrwyddo gostyngiadau ategolion amrywiol ar feiciau a beicio.
- Rhoi mynediad i gynllun aberthu cyflog Beicio i’r Gwaith i staff, mewn partneriaeth â’r manwerthwr beicio lleol, Cycle Solutions.
- Datblygu tîm o Arweinwyr Reidio ar y campws sydd wedi trefnu ac arwain reidiau drwy gydol y flwyddyn i fyfyrwyr a staff (a’r gymuned leol), gan gynnwys teithiau tywys i’r campws ac oddi yno, ac i ardaloedd lleol fel Canol y Ddinas a’r Mwmbwls.
- Cynnal sesiynau rheolaidd ar grwpiau defnyddwyr bysiau a beicwyr ar y campws drwy gydol y flwyddyn, lle gall myfyrwyr a staff ddod â’u hymholiadau a’u pryderon am feicio a theithio ar fysiau a lleisio eu hymholiadau.
Felly, gyda rhagolygon tywydd hardd ar gyfer y penwythnos (gwiriwch yn gyntaf), beth am fynd allan ar eich beic ac archwilio’r llwybrau beicio yn Abertawe a’r cyffiniau. Dangoswch eich hoff leoedd i ni feicio, eich hoff leoliad i stopio am goffi………….[:]
