(…of cyclists)
There are many cycling friendly businesses in Hillingdon. In fact, the intial discussion we had about forming this group was held in one of them: King’s Cafe in Ruislip. We regard this cafe as cycling friendly because it has covered cycle parking, but also you can walk your bike to the outside seating area and sit outside with a coffee without worrying about locking the bike up.
We’d like fellow cyclists to let us know about such businesses in Hillingdon. Please email us at hello@cyclinghillingdon.uk with the subject line “Cycle Friendly Business” to let us know, along with your reasons why it should be included in the list below.
