New Cycle Routes

Wednesday, 26th March 2025/in News /by Clerk

We are committed to improving our city’s access to active travel – it helps keep our residents and our environment healthy. To support this, we have created a collection of 13 online maps showing bike and walking friendly routes linking all 69 wards of Birmingham to encourage people to get outside and choose sustainable transport more often.

The routes highlight existing cycle infrastructure, beautiful green spaces, quiet streets, as well as key places of interest (such as the best cafes and toilet stops) and other fab hidden gems across the city. Having these maps will enable you to explore your local area and further afield by bike and foot with confidence.
