Cambridgeshire is particularly well suited to traffic-free and low-traffic cycling, with routes ranging from former transport routes, to the Cambridge Guided Busway. Below you’ll find several great, highly detailed route guides, with practical information about surfaces, barriers, hills, traffic, facilities and suitability for different cyclists.
You will also learn what barriers there may be, what bikes are suitable for the route, and even where toilets and refreshment stops are! Finally, each route guide has an interactive map, from where you can download the GPX of the route, and have turn-by-turn voice navigation.
The route guides also include details of getting there, including the nearest train station. Just be sure to first read my Bikes On Trains guide, for tips on taking your bike on a train.
