New research has revealed Britain’s most Cycle Friendly areas and Devon came in at number 3. The region has 26 National Cycle Routes and over 4000 5-star ratings on Trip Advisor. Devon features the highest rating in the whole of the South West.
According to the research conducted by Compare the Market, cycling has become increasingly more popular with bike sales going up during lockdown and more people looking for ways to get out and explore their local area in safe and fun ways. The research looked at the number of cycling routes, road conditions, road traffic and the number of 5 star listings and reviews for cycle routes to determine the safest and most challenging areas in the UK.
The top ten cycle friendly areas are:
Derbyshire
East Riding of Yorkshire
Devon
Kent
Cambridgeshire
Cumbria
Oxfordshire
Bristol
Bath and North East Somerset
Gwynedd
