For Heathrow, follow the Grand Union Canal to and from central London. Terminal 4 is a piece of cake to access on a bike, Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are more challenging. There's been a fair bit of discussion about this on this forum.
ooh man, I arrived at Heathrow and I knew about the possibility of cycling from there, but I was just so tired and sleepy from the flight that taking a taxi seemed like a good idea... it ended up being a really bad one, costing almost half my airfare from new york!!, I should have moved my arse and set up the bike, lesson learned!
