A new digital on-line map offering a wealth of information to keen and would be cyclists in Leeds and West Yorkshire has been launched.
Developed in partnership with four other local councils’ and the West Yorkshire Combined Authorities’ City Connect team, the West Yorkshire Digital Cycle Map provides cyclists with details of cycle routes, tracks and paths in Leeds and in towns and cities right across the district.
Through the interactive map, cyclists can plan their journey seamlessly across the district boundaries and ride across Leeds and West Yorkshire with confidence. Not only does the map allow for users to zoom in and find out where the best on-road and off-road routes are in Leeds, they can also discover the finest leisure rides, where to find bike parking, and even where local bike shops are situated.
The newly opened City Connect Cycle Superhighway between Crossgates, Leeds city centre and Bradford also features on the map, with a journey planner available to plot point to point routes to give the quickest or quietest ways.
Councillor Richard Lewis, Leeds City Council’s executive member for regeneration, transport and planning, said:
“I am delighted to see the introduction of the West Yorkshire Digital Cycle Map, which will provide people who love to get on their bikes with an excellent resource to tailor their rides not just in Leeds, but right across the district.”
