We are developing a network of core cycle routes in Leeds that will improve conditions for cyclists and encourage cycling as a way of getting around.
Each route will be signed and use a combination of cycle lanes, tracks, quiet roads and junction improvements to link housing, Leeds city centre, schools, employment sites, parks, greenspace and the wider bridleway and cycle route networks.
The routes include some existing facilities and aim to provide a boost to the number of primary routes available.
An overview of the network is available opposite but please be aware route alignments are subject to change depending on consultation.
As part of this project cycle routes have been introduced linking Middleton, West Park, and Alwoodley to the city centre and Temple Newsam with Roundhay Park.
Construction work is currently ongoing for a route between Armley and the City Centre and others are anticipated to commence soon. Also, last year the CyclePoint facility was opened at the railway station which provides cycle parking, rental, repair and retail. Please click here for Frequently Asked Questions.
