Did you know that last year, there were almost 40,000 rides taken on OVO hire bikes by members of the University community?

If you are one of the about 5,000 colleagues or students who have signed up to a free membership of OVO bikes through the University, please look out for an email arriving in your mailbox over coming days.

Nextbike, who run OVO bikes for Glasgow, are due to go through a re-verification process for all University users, and you will be required to follow the instructions in the email to maintain your membership.

Every staff member and student of University of Glasgow can take out a OVO bike (formerly Nextbike) membership for free, and use one of the about 1,000 bikes from an ever-growing network of currently 100 hire stations. You also get the first 60 minutes for each trip free. You can find the details here on the University’s OVO bikes memberships webpages.
