Question symbol Cycling: How can I take my bicycle through the kissing gates on the Greenways?

Answer symbol The kissing gates on the Greenways have been specially adapted to allow cyclists to push their front wheel into a vertical gap between the hoops, which allows the gate to close behind them. Riders of longer bicycles (e.g. tandems or trailer bikes) can purchase a key which will allow the kissing gate to swing open like a standard gate. Keys are available from Kingsbury Water Park (telephone 01827 872660).

The kissing gates are necessary on the Greenways to prevent motor cycle access.

The Stratford Greenway is a permissive bridleway between Long Marston and Milcote and, other than two gates near to Seven Meadows and Milcote car parks, there are "horse boxes" constructed adjacent to the gates over which a bicycle can be lifted (they are about 250 mm high).
