Any tips for cycling?

Just bought myself an e bike which I pickup on the weekend. Going to use it for deliveroo and stuff on the side. But it's got me thinking about cycling to campus instead of the buses. As only bought pass for term 1.

Do any of you have any tips and stuff? I've had a brief look at cycle routes but not sure on the rest and how the bike parking works and wheres best near main part of campus?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

op did you ever start doing deliveroo? i wanna get a bike and also do food delivery and i’ve signed up for just eat, deliveroo and uber eats but it seems like my only option right now is uber eats as they don’t have a waitlist. and i’ve read online people have been waiting for months if not years to get a spot in deliveroo or just eat. also out of curiosity what bike model did you get?

Need to actually sort it out still but i ended up with a 2022 cube hybrid pro 500w... im probably about 4-500 miles in.
