You can ride a bicycle almost anywhere, at any time of the year, and without spending a fortune. Most of us know how to cycle and once you have learned you don’t forget. Many people are put off cycling more than they do because they are not confident or simply do not feel safe on the roads.
Trailways provides an excellent place to cycle. All you need is a bike, a half an hour here or there when it suits, and a bit of confidence.
Trailways can also be used as a ‘highway’ for cyclists to access other rural cycle routes or between favourite off road routes for mountain bikes.
Getting to work by bike has also never been easier with trailways. Many people use trailways as a commuting route and, coupled with the government ‘cycle to work’ scheme, this number is increasing.
