Cycling to work can dramatically improve your general fitness and is proven to help reduce stress and anxiety. With on site secure cycle storage, showers and changing facilities some of the normal barriers to commuting by bike have been removed (for those living close enough!) and you can even get a new bike at significantly reduced prices through the Cycle to Work Scheme.

• Cycle storage, showers and changing facilities

  Secure cycle storage is provided within the basement car park, and shower and changing facilities are also available on site.
  
  If you are unsure where these facilities are or would like further information please contact us

• Plan a journey by bike

  Google have recently been upgrading their online mapping software to show local cycle routes, and they also provide the facility to plan your journey by bike door-to-door by using their route planning tools.
  
  Whilst the system is being tested this may be a good place to start if you are looking to plan your journey to Central Park by bike (click here). Alternatively please contact us if you require any further information.

• Cycle to Work scheme: save up to 52% of the retail price of a bike

  Employees have the opportunity to purchase a bike (and associated safety equipment) as part of the ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme, these type of arrangements allow you to pay for your new bike through a salary sacrifice arrangement, enabling you to save up to 52% compared to buying a bike on your own. For more information on eligibility, bike options and timescales to participate email centralpark@my-commute.com
