Local Cycle Network (LCN)

A collection of Local Cycle Network routes from OSM. Think calm connectors that stitch together backstreets, park paths, and shared ways so you can skip the main roads and enjoy an easy ride.

Good for everyday trips, beginners, and mellow spins across town. Expect a mix of surfaces (from smooth tarmac to the odd gravel or park path) and signage that can be great in some spots and patchy in others. You might hit a short busy stretch or a tricky junction now and then—just take your time and roll through with care.

Tips: bring lights, be ready for shared paths (give pedestrians space), and use a map or GPS where wayfinding drops off. These routes are handy for linking stations, parks, and cafes without the traffic stress. Enjoy the flow and tweak your line as you go.
