Here at the FCSA, we've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to set up a bike scheme that has been funded by Energy Saving Trust and the College.
The project allows students/staff to hire the use of an e-bike to try out for up to 4 weeks. The bikes can be used for commuting, leisure or simply to increase your health and fitness. Fife College staff and students have the chance to rent out these bikes from £2.50 per week.

Testimonials
My commute is from Edinburgh to Rosyth, a distance of just over 18.5 km each way. The total distance on the e-bike is over 600km by evening after I cycle back home...so that is 600km of car driving prevented by using the e-bike. - Mary
I am loving having it and I use it for this commute 3 times per week. We were a 2 car family - since lockdown, we realised that we didn't really need 2 cars as much. When I heard about the college incentive it seemed ideal - having access to the college electric bike to commute to work felt like the perfect time to reduce our household's carbon footprint. I use the bike for loads of things now, not just my work commute. It's also having a positive effect on my physical and mental health.....arriving at work feeling full of energy and fresh air! - Gill
