Commuting by bicycle

Are you thinking of doing more exercise? Then why not do it on your way to work? Commuting to work on a bike could help you keep fit, improve your health, save you money and help reduce CO2 emissions.

Heathrow can be reached via a network of cycle paths. If you want to ride into London you can plan a cycle route using the Transport for London journey planner.
