Transition Bath has been successfully running Ride to Work by Bike, an electric bike loan scheme, for the last 4 years and is looking for volunteers to help run the project.
The voluntary work could involve:
- Marketing to and liaising with workplaces to promote the scheme to employees
- Day-to-day management of the e-bike loan scheme :-
- Talking to potential users
- Organising the loan of bikes to them
- Organising cycle training
- Supporting them during the loan period
- Managing the maintenance of the bikes via Julian House Bike workshop
- Helping users to purchase bikes after the trial
- Shaping the future of the scheme, grant applications, potentially converting it to a self-supporting commercial enterprise
The project currently takes about 10 hours a month on average to keep running and we are looking for volunteer(s) to help with the project. The work could potentially be shared by a number of volunteers.
The project has always received very positive feedback from users, many of whom have gone on to purchase e-bikes to commute to work. It is a great opportunity to help Bath become more sustainable, reduce traffic congestion and air pollution.
