Dundee is a small city and most parts can be easily reached in 20-30 minutes by bicycle from the city centre. Dundee is fairly hilly when travelling north/south but is flat when travelling east/west. Traffic is generally well-behaved and there are many quieter routes that are pleasant to cycle.
It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to ride from the main campus to Ninewells.
Thinking of buying a bike to use for your journeys to and from the campus? Estates & Buildings have some useful advice about buying a commuter bike.
The best way to hear about news and events for cyclists is to contact Bicycle Users Group (BUG) by email at: travel@dundee.ac.uk or join the online Yahoo group or follow ScotBug Group.
BUG promotes the use of bicycles as a means of commuting to the University and provides support and advice to both existing and new cyclists. It also works to make the campus more bike-friendly - installing more bike lockers and secure shelters.
Ninewells BUG (Bicycle Users Group) exists to represent cyclists on the Ninewells site and promote greater use of cycling. If you would like to be on the mailing list or need further information, email p.j.clinch@dundee.ac.uk@dundee.ac.uk
