Isle Be Active
Become an Active Commuter
Through January and February 2019 we are offering single occupancy car commuters the chance to leave the car behind and chose a more active commuting option.
We are looking for people who travel between Cowes and Newport or Newport and Cowes regularly for work to take part in a study to see if travelling by bike would work for you. We'll loan you an electric bike for free along with all the typical accessories you need including a helmet, bag, bike lock and lights.
All you need to do is agree to record your rides for the one month loan period and provide us with feedback immediately after the trial and three months later.
If you'd be interested in taking part in this trial please complete the online registration form. Please note: places are limited, not all applications will be accepted.
