Why Cycling in London Makes Sense
In recent years, Transport for London has invested heavily in safer Cycleways, improved junctions and clearer signage, making cycling more accessible than ever. For residents living near these routes, cycling offers clear everyday benefits:
-
Lower travel costs, take your bike not the bus
-
Improved fitness and wellbeing, without needing extra time for the gym
-
More reliable journeys, especially during peak hours
With many residential areas now directly connected to employment hubs, cycling has become a realistic option for commuters of all confidence levels.
Lime Bikes: Flexible Cycling Without Ownership
Not ready to buy a bike? Many of our London developments are located near Lime bike drop-off points, making cycling accessible without storage or maintenance concerns - ideal for apartment living.
These pay-as-you-go electric bikes are well suited to short trips, cycling to nearby stations, or easing into cycling at your own pace. They can also be combined with public transport, offering a flexible and low-carbon way to travel across the city.
