Welcome to CycleCity Guides
CycleCity Guides is committed to helping make sustainable transport options available to all. We survey and map cycling and walking routes, developing networks in even the most challenging urban settings. Our maps invite the user to find their way easily on foot, by bike and on public transport. We exploit the technology which allows route information to be used in journey planners and on mobile devices.
Maps
The first CycleCity map was of Bristol and surrounding area in 1996. Like many other CycleCity maps, it was innovative - highlighting the small cycle-friendly roads at the expense of motorways and A-roads...
Surveying
Cycle route surveying lies at the heart of CycleCity Guides. All our early maps were based on pioneering surveying of some of the country’s largest cities to build up networks of official, advisory and traffic-free routes...
Design
Our in-house design team works closely with the client to create an effective design solution. Consideration will be given to the finished printed size when bringing the map together with the text and images.
Journey Planner
All journey planners need good basic information. Our cycle and walking specific data fills a huge gap in most current planners, which are based on road vehicle information only.

This is the fully updated third edition of the popular guidebook Traffic-Free Cycle Trails, containing over 400 cycle routes around Britain and is one of the country's most popular cycling books. Written by Nick Cotton, it includes a great variety of routes on former railway paths, canal towpaths and forest trails. It has proven invaluable for finding that safe and peaceful bike ride, increasingly the target of a growing number of families and novice riders looking to escape the traffic. Readers of the first edition were surprised with the discovery of local trails of which they were unaware, and those travelling have been able to find quality trails in unfamiliar areas throughout the UK, without wasting time!
