Timely Tredlies Departmental Bicycle Program

As a part of the ANU Environmental Management Plan 2003-2008, ANUgreen aims to reduce the environmental impact of intra-campus travel (strategy 11.4) and promote diversity in transport choice (strategy 11.9). The bicycle fleet established in 2006 addresses both these aims.

The ‘Timely Tredlies’ program provides staff of various interested departments with access to a bicycle for intra-campus travel, as a healthy, efficient and hassle free alternative to using a fleet motor vehicle.

The Timely Tredlies program currently consists of over 60 bikes, housed in a variety of different areas on the ANU campus. Areas include research schools, administration units and facilities management areas. Staff are able to book the bicycles in the same way as they book University vehicles. Booking sheets look the same as those used for booking motor vehicles and are placed in the same location. The bicycles are an excellent way to travel round the campus quickly, easily, healthily, and parking hassle free!

The bicycles are new TREK mountain bikes and come equipped with the following:

• Bike
• Trouser clips
• Secure D- lock
• Puncture repair kit
• Helmet (two sizes)
• Bike pump
• Pannier (and rack)
• Cycle computer
• Information and booking folder

Staff are able to book their area bicycle in same way they currently book fleet vehicles.
