Local Cycle Network 5

LCN 5 is a cross‑town cycling route that strings together back streets, short stretches of busier roads, and a few dedicated cycleway sections. Expect an easy, rolling ride with roughly 23.5 km of mostly paved surface and just a couple of brief unpaved/gravel bits.

It’s a practical line for everyday trips and weekend spins alike—good for linking neighborhoods, parks, and local centers without detouring too much. Wayfinding is usually by LCN 5 signs; rideable in both directions.

Highlights and tips:

• Mostly asphalt with some concrete and paving stones; smooth overall.
• Gentle ups and downs (under 150 m total elevation change) make it friendly for a wide range of riders.
• You’ll encounter some busier road sections—lights, a bell, and visible clothing help. Take extra care at junctions.
• Family-friendly in quieter parts; consider timing your ride to avoid peak traffic.

If you want a steady, city-style route that mixes calm streets with a few protected paths, LCN 5 gets you there with minimal fuss.
