Heathrow Cycle Hub
A new cycle centre for staff has opened at the airport and is the first of its kind anywhere in the UK. Located at The Academy on Newell Road, the Heathrow Cycle Hub offers all airport workers discount on all cycles and equipment. You can also get your cycle serviced or repaired at the centre with the labour free, plus 10% off all parts required during a service. The centre will also provide information and training to help cyclists get the most out of their bikes.
To take advantage of these sales and servicing offers you need to join the Heathrow Cycle Hub which is FREE. You will receive your membership pack which will get you started and let you know about all the services that the Heathrow Cycle Hub can offer. Click on the link below to join the Heathrow Cycle Hub now or call Heathrow Commuter to join by phone on 020 8745 2766.
Bicycle racks right next to work
Free cycle parking is available all around Heathrow. There are over 400 bicycle racks outside our buildings, meaning you can park your bicycle right next to work. Please note that for security reasons, bicycles will be removed if not parked in the designated areas.
