Many people are using this time to get out on their bike. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or a complete beginner, you always need to plan your cycling route. The Bike Hub have provided some resources to help you get out and about on a bike in Leeds and beyond.
Travel planning
Besides Google Maps, here are a few websites that you can find help with cycling routes and maps.
- Leeds City Council cycle routes and maps – includes PDFs of cycle routes, a parking guide, as well as links to interactive maps
- CityConnect interactive map – interactive travel planning tool; powered by CycleStreet, which you can use nationally
- Sustrans, the national cycling charity responsible for managing the excellent National Cycle Network, have lots of good routes around Leeds
- The same Sustrans have also identified routes for a “slow tour de Yorkshire,” with downloadable PDFs – these are ideal for family rides!
