Cycling can be a quick way to get about in the local area and help keep you fit and healthy.
There are a quiet roads and dedicated cycle paths linking the College with local towns and villages such as Englefield Green, Egham, Staines, Windsor and Virginia Water. For people living locally the Windsor Great Park offers a traffic free environment to enjoy leisure cycling.
