CHANGE UP YOUR COMMUTE: WHY NOT TRY CYCLING TO WORK!
"
IT’S A DREAM CYCLE STORE
We caught up with Fraser Proctor of Blyth & Blyth who regularly cycles to work at Skypark.
CASE STUDY
“The opening of this new cycle facility is tremendous for those who currently cycle but equally provides an opportunity for those who don’t cycle at the moment. The store houses racks to suit every style of bike with simple to use lockers in a range of sizes to store all your gear. There’s a plethora of high quality tools provided for any issues which may arise during the morning commute, and don’t forget the spacious individual shower cubicles and changing facilities.
"
“I can also see the space becoming a cycle social hub when offices return, where other uses will no doubt aid anyone new to the game. This is the dream cycle store and should be replicated in other office buildings to encourage and promote this environmentally sound method of transport which of course provides mental and physical benefits to those who engage.
