Cycling to work can be a great way of both avoiding lengthy rush hour queues and ever increasing parking charges. Cycling for up to 20 mins as part of a journey to work each day will also benefit your health and contribute towards nhs recommended physical activity levels.

Why not combine cycling and train travel? It makes cycling for part of your journey more achievable and extends the range of cycling routes available. You can usually take your bike on the train with you, or alternatively leave it in the cycle storage provided free of charge at the station.
