Finding a route

Whether there is a bike bus for your child to join, you will be cycling with them, or they are at an age where they can cycle on their own, it is a good idea to find a quiet route to travel on.

This may include back streets, be through parks or on cycle paths and a quiet, slightly longer route will be much more enjoyable and safer than a short busy route. 

The excellent series of London Cycle Guides shows both quiet and off road cycle routes, and can be ordered by following the link on the right or by calling the Transport for London Travel Information Line on 020 7222 1234.
