Welcome to Cycle Colchester

We're making Colchester an even better place to cycle, so why not get on your bike and see what we mean? As an official Cycling Town, we have £4.2m to spend on creating a much improved cycle network while encouraging people to take to their bikes.

As well as new and improved routes, we're offering training for children and adults and events and activities to highlight the benefits cycling can offer you.

Cycling makes sense!

It's low cost, convenient, healthy - and it's carbon neutral.

Cycle to school Cycle to work Cycle for fun

Give us your views on how you want to see the network of the future as well as how cycling can be promoted through marketing and training to help in the Council in its aims to manage congestion, improve personal health and enable job creation.

Colchester Borough Council has prepared a draft Cycling Delivery Strategy that builds upon what we have learnt from the Cycle Colchester project. The Strategy contains a map of existing and proposed routes, as well as details on marketing and training.

"Cycling to work means I am combining exercise with something I would be doing anyway. I feel fitter by cycling, maybe not as fit as I would like, but it definitely keeps me healthy and it is enjoyable, too."

Clare Hawkins, Wivenhoe
