Have a look at all your options for cycling around your area.

On your bikes…

It is often quicker to cycle short distances than travel by car, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours!

Nearly a quarter of all car trips are under two miles (3km), a distance that can be cycled in 10 minutes.

Don’t own a bike of your own?

If you are employed, ask your employer if they operate a cycle to work scheme. This allows you to loan cycles and cycle safety equipment as a tax free benefit!

The map below provides you with a snapshot of local centres and employment areas all within a reasonable 5km cycle from your home. To view Derbyshire and Staffordshire cycle maps visit the following links;
