Cycling

We have a range of cycle facilities from dedicated cycle paths to cycle parking in public places.  

We regularly inspect roads, cycle paths and footways to identify any problems that need our attention. 

You can report a pothole, damaged road, footpath or cycleway to us.

You can discover your nearest cycling routes using Better by Bike’s cycle route page.

Cycle strategy 

We have a cycle strategy that was set out in 2016. It sets out our approach to making cycling simpler, safer and more attractive for all. 

Our strategic cycling and walking priorities for the major urban areas are outlined within the West of England Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan.

In addition, our transport strategy is set out within the Joint Local Transport Plan (JLTP4) which was adopted in 2020 and covers the period up to 2036. The JLTP4 covers the West of England area including South Gloucestershire.

If you have any comments or queries about cycle strategy or policy issues, then contact us at transport.policy@southglos.gov.uk or raise them at the cycle forum.
