Kisharon’s Bus Stop Bikes is supplying 12 bikes for FreeWheelers, the new Middlesex University campus cycle hire scheme.

With research showing that any journey less than eight miles in London is quicker by bike, the scheme lets students book and borrow a bike to use around the campus and to and from their accommodation.

The bikes will be serviced each month by the bike shop and Manager Eytan Bordoley and his staff will carry out repairs when necessary.

Eytan said: “The university is encouraging students to use bikes to save money, keep fit and reduce toxic fumes in the environment.

“We are delighted to have been chosen to supply and maintain these bikes for the university.

“Well done to Shaya Zimmels, Levi Hyams, Yaakov Leon and all the other people we support who helped get the bikes ready.”
