TravelWise - Cycling - Warwickshire Web

Cycling is a healthy, economical and pollution-free way to travel for short local journeys – to work, school, the shops, leisure centre, rail station and other destinations around town. It only takes about 10 minutes to cycle 2 miles, which is often faster than going by car!

Warwickshire County Council's Cycling Strategy
Warwickshire County Council is working to improve conditions for cycling to encourage more people to cycle for local journeys. A Cycling Strategy has been developed as part of the Local Transport Plan (2006-2011) (see Annex 2).

A key focus of the Cycling Strategy is to continue to develop cycle route networks in the main county towns of Leamington Spa, Warwick, Rugby, Nuneaton and Stratford-upon-Avon. We also work with Sustrans to develop the National Cycle Network within Warwickshire.
