Cycling

There is so much to do and see in Broxbourne and you can cover a lot of ground on a bike. There is a wealth of mapping tools available online. Here are some favourites: 

Map of the Borough
A local travel map (see Documents to the right of the page) has been produced by Sustrans, a sustainable transport charity, on behalf of the Borough of Broxbourne Council and Hertfordshire County Council, which displays the cycle routes and lanes in the local area.

Lee Valley Regional Park
There are a variety of cycle routes in the Lee Valley Regional Park and it forms part of Routes 1 and 61 of the National Cycle Network. This section of the National Cycle Network is 21 miles long and runs from Greenwich, London, through the Lee Valley Regional Park, and continues onto Route 61 to Hertford and Welwyn Garden City. The route is predominantly free of traffic.

Public rights of way
The rights of way network in the Borough consists of 124 footpaths, four bridleways and 11 roads used as public paths, which totals a combined distance of 43 miles.

Online journey planners
Google Maps can be used to plan journeys by bicycle. It utilises local cycle paths to suggest the best route for the desired journey and gives an anticipated length of time it will take to complete the trip. 

Transport Direct offers a journey-planning tool, which incorporates user preferences such as finding the quietest, quickest or most recreational routes for cycling.

Strava route information provided by cyclists, for cyclists.

Public bike pumps

Public bike pumps have been installed at three sites to help cyclists who need to top up their tyre pressure while on the move. The heavy-duty pumps are free to use and feature a QR code, which can be scanned to download a map of other pumps in the area.
