Cycling at Republic

If you’re considering cycling your commute to Republic, check out our tips below. There’s guidance for everyone – including those without a bike!

What do I need in order to commute to Republic?

• A Bike! If you don’t have your own bike, you can use a Santander Cycle or a dockless bike, such as MoBike. There are 2 Santander Cycle docking stations near Republic and both types of bike can be found on the TFL website or apps like CityMapper.
• Safety gear and knowledge. Remember your helmet, lights and review the highway code for cyclists here.
• A bike lock. Whilst our bike racks at Republic can be found within our security monitored basement, it’s important to lock your bike and have one in case something happens en route.
• A plan of your route. Apps such as CityMapper and CycleStreets can help you plan your journey and filter out routes that use quiet roads or get you somewhere faster.
