Cycling continues to grow as a popular and convenient way of getting around London. Latest figures from TfL show that the number of Londoners hopping on a bike is on the up just as summer cycling season is upon us. There’s the annual RideLondon in May of course and the world-famous Tour de France next month, but why wait for a festival to saddle up when we have safe, plentiful and ever-expanding options with dedicated cycleways criss-crossing the city?
The benefits of cycling are well-known – a great way to exercise, environmentally and financially-sustainable means to travel, and all the positives that come with getting outdoors.
Buying a home near a cycleway can make riding more accessible while also adding to the value of a property for buyers who prioritise independent, convenient and sustainable travel options.
