Local Cycle Route 20

A practical urban route that strings together quiet back streets and dedicated cycleways, with a few short stretches on busier roads. Most of it is smooth asphalt or other paved surfaces, with the odd bit of paving stones and a couple of pedestrian areas where you’ll need to roll easy.

Expect a bit of up-and-down (around 80 m of climbing overall), but nothing too long—just a few short ramps. It suits hybrids and road bikes, and it’s handy for everyday trips across town, linking homes, shops, parks, and stations while dodging the heaviest traffic where possible.

Tips: watch for junctions on the busy sections, give way in pedestrian zones, and consider riding off-peak if you prefer quieter roads. Use the collection to piece together short hops or a longer through-ride, depending on your day.
