Welcome to Croydon
Croydon is a great place to cycle, and now there are even more opportunities to get out and about on your bike in the area.
From 24th June Croydon will be hosting a series of friendly neighbourhood Sky Ride Local rides. They’re all free to join, and it’s easy to register.
Sky Ride Local rides are fun, free community bike rides that offer a great way of getting out and exploring your local area and meeting like-minded people.
The Breeze network from British Cycling is all about fun, local bike rides for women, by women – and there’s a whole range of support and training too.
Support
Cycle training
Free cycle training is available for children and adults in Croydon. Find out more.
Cycle course for drivers of large vehicles
Through the Changing Places programme, drivers of large vehicles are being trained to cycle on Croydon's roads to remind them how it feels to ride alongside all types of traffic. For more information on this free half-day course, email road.safety@croydon.gov.uk.
Cycling for all
Cycling for all is a Croydon-based service for people who would like to cycle using trikes and four-wheelers. It’s ideal for people with mobility impairments or balance difficulties. Find out more.
Cycle parking
Croydon Council has installed cycle parking stands at locations throughout the borough such as shopping parades, district centres, civic buildings, and transport interchanges. A substantial new facility is being developed at East Croydon station thanks to a three year programme of Biking Borough funding from Transport for London, from 2011 to 2014.
Where to ride
Croydon is a great place to cycle. As one of the Mayor of London’s Biking Boroughs, Croydon is working hard to develop great facilities to encourage more people to ride their bikes to work, school, and for fun.
There are some 45 miles of cycle routes in Croydon (a mix of mandatory lanes, advisory lanes and advisory routes), with even more being planned.
Free local cycle route guides are available from Transport for London, or you can collect one from the Healthy Living Hub in the Clocktower, Katherine Street, Croydon.
