Cycling

Welcome to Southampton City Council’s cycling pages. Cycling is a great way to get around quickly and easily, whilst saving money and improving your fitness.

The pages on the left provide information on:

• Reasons to cycle and the benefits cycling bring

• How to get low cost cycle training to help you start cycling or improve your skills

• Information how to cycle safely

• Information on events in the city that may be of interest to cyclists

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the Southampton Cycle Survey on Tuesday 18th October 2011. We distributed 3000 surveys and have received over 1300 replies which is by far the largest response to any form of transport consultation carried out within the city.

In partnership with Geodata we are now processing the results and are hoping to release the broad findings of the survey soon. We will then carry out a more detailed analysis to identify where you thought the cycle network can be improved and where additional facilities are needed.

The outcome of this process will also help us support bids to central government for additional funding to finance future improvements to the cycle network.
