    University of Dundee has taken delivery of three new electric vans, an electric car and 12 electric bikes...

    Also has a vending machine for inner tubes and work stand - lots of media interest in this (Although I fear mentioning this reminds people of a perceived problem / excuse for not cycling)

    I don't think all the participating campuses have 'launched' the scheme yet.

    Heriot Watt one mentioned here -

    It's launched(-ish) in Edinburgh Uni, but for staff only...

    "Ish" as it was announced before organised, so folk are still feeling their way.

    It's not heavily used at Edinburgh Uni at the moment. I would highly recommend it though.

    Apparently it takes a qualified mechanic to change a flat tyre.
