Cycling to Work
At Battersea 2 we encourage people to cycle to work. Local roads were not designed for the weight of traffic that uses them these days. Travelling by car is expensive and parking is very difficult.
Cycling is cheap. For the price of a monthly season ticket you can get a decent bike, save cash immediately also get fit enjoyably and rapidly.
There are plentiful cycle racks next to the office and if demand requires it we can add more. The site is secure but obviously you need to lock up your bike at all times.
We have the local cycle route maps available at Reception. For further information please see Transport for London’s website http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/11607.aspx. On this site there are tips on security, safety training and much more.
Cycling is a great way to get around. If you follow the tips on the web sites below you can quickly learn how to cycle safely and confidently on London's streets.
