Introduction
Cycling helps you lead a healthy, environmentally-friendly
lifestyle. It can be a fast way to get to work, and a fun weekend
activity. Cycling has a key role to play in cutting congestion on
our roads. Bath & North East Somerset is actively working on
improving facilities and conditions for cyclists to encourage
people to cycle more.
Cycle Leaflets / Maps
Maps for the Avon Cycleway and The Bristol & Bath
Railway Path are available, free of charge, from local
libraries and most Council Offices.
We have a popular map for cyclists (pictured below)
which covers the whole area. These are also available free of
charge from local libraries and most Council Offices.
We also have similar maps covering Bristol, North Somerset and
South Gloucestershire.
Two Tunnels Project
A campaign to win a portion of £50 million of Lottery funding to
create new cycle routes in Bath has been successful.
It was revealed in December 2007 that the Two Tunnels project
will be awarded £1m, thanks to the votes of local people.
