Infrastructure

Greater Bristol's Cycling City project gives Bristol and South Gloucestershire councils the chance to build on the provision of cycling facilities in the region. 

Many new cycle routes are being developed and many existing routes are being upgraded.

Both councils are providing for beginners, building safe, off-road, traffic-free bike paths for non-cyclists to build their confidence.

Yet they are also making sure that current cyclists have better facilities such as dedicated, on-road routes, and hundreds of new bike parking areas.

Progress

St Werburghs bike path was the first route to open as part of the Cycling City project. Nineteen other cycle paths or cycle zones were completed between June 2009 and June 2010.

Visit the completed schemes or work in progress pages to find out what's been done so far. The proposed routes page shows the remaining projects.

Consultations

Before both councils begin a new project they often consult the public on the proposed routes. Take a look at the consultations page or visit the websites of South Gloucestershire Council and Bristol CIty Council to find out about the current consultations.
