Supporting cycling in Peterborough

Peterborough is a great place to cycle! British Cycling works with Peterborough City Council to promote a range of opportunities for people to get involved with cycling whatever their age and ability. Peterborough is an Environment City. It’s also relatively flat, dry and has an extensive cycle network – so it’s a great town to ride in. The city benefits from The Green Wheel – a 50 mile trail network that covers both urban and outlying rural areas. The network is ideal for commuting, crossing the city on bike to shop or visit friends or to engage in local adventures, such as the sculpture trail.


Places to ride

From fenland, broadland and forests in Norfolk to Suffolk heathlands and dramatic coasts, East Anglia has it all... The region's waterways and ancient routes offer the perfect sanctuary for cyclists, while Thetford Forest has trails for everyone from beginner to expert. Find out more.
