National Cycle Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Cycle Network is a network of cycle routes that cover most of the mainland United Kingdom and some of the isles of Scotland. The National Cycle Network was created by the charity Sustrans (Sustainable Transport), and aided by a £42.5 million National Lottery grant. The network is comprehensively signposted using a white bicycle symbol on a blue background, and the NCN route number in white in a red inset box. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Cycle_Network   (1003 words)

Nationally the aim is to have at least half the network on traffic free routes and paths, this certainly the aim in Devon so that the routes are: Nationally, Sustrans, a sustainable transport charity, has received Millennium Funding from the Lottery to develop the NCN in partnership with local authorities such as Devon County Council. www.devon.gov.uk /index/transport/green_travel/cycling/national_cycle_network.htm   (614 words)

Articles - Segregated cycle facilities However, the construction of 320km of "Strategic cycle network" in Dublin has been accompanied by a 15% fall in commuter cycling and 40% falls in cycling by second and third level students. In Germany, the National Socialist regime was committed to promoting the mass use of private motor cars and viewed the bicycle as an impediment to this goal. This has led to various high profile "cycle network" projects examples of which can be found in Montreal, Dublin and other cities. www.mountainbikescenter.com /articles/Segregated_cycle_facilities   (2818 words)

Stirling Surveys makers of 'Footprint Maps' for cycling, backpacking, walking & orienteering The National Cycle Network will be a safe, attractive, high-quality network for cyclists and a major new amenity for walkers and people with disabilities. The Network will carry an estimated 100 million cycle trips and 40 million walking trips every year. Over a third of the Network will be entirely traffic-free, built along old railway lines, canal towpaths, forestry tracks, riversides and urban spaces, and in many cases these sections will be ideal for pushchairs as well as for cyclists and pedestrians. home.btconnect.com /StirlingSurveys/NCN.html   (296 words)

Rural Rides: National Cycle Network: The West Country Way Cycle Route From this point on the locals were none too keen on having cycle route signposts erected and the first time I did it a map and map reading skills were essential, although the simple rule of thumb is to keep to the edge of the moor. The cycle route has been diverted slightly to avoid this dangerous crossing and instead joins the old Bodmin part of the line, which passes underneath the main road. I recently read an account of a journey made along this cycle route in 2000, the year after my trip. homepage.ntlworld.com /ron.strutt/rrncn8.html   (4844 words)

Ordnance Survey News Release: National Cycle Network to appear on Landranger maps Simon Talbot-Ponsonby, co-ordinator of the National Cycle Network project with Sustrans, is delighted at Ordnance Survey’s commitment to show the Network on Britain’s most popular series of maps: "It will give a real boost to the project, encouraging many more people to get out on their bikes to explore Britain," he says. The National Cycle Network is a major Millennium project which is being developed in sections over the next few years. He says: "We are extremely pleased that the Bristol map is the first in the country to highlight the National Cycle Network – it’s an excellent boost for the city’s cyclists and visitors to the area. 62.25.96.209 /media_archive/199809/cycle.html   (533 words)

Britain's National Cycle Network Although the network will link with railway stations, there is no guarantee that cyclists will be allowed to take their cycles on trains by all of Britain’s newly privatised rail companies. The network will be truly national, stretching from Inverness in northern Scotland to Penzance at the far south west tip of England. As much of the network as possible (up to 50 per cent is the target) will be traffic free, making use of old railway lines (their redundancy as rail lines is another example of how stupidly Britain has developed its transport systems), canal towpaths, riversides and derelict land. www.living-room.org /bikepeople/national.htm   (1128 words)

Celebrating the National Cycle Network The Millennium National Cycle Network in the Highlands extends to 317 miles, allowing cyclists to visit their neighbouring towns and villages and offering good cycling for visitors. The Board of Sustrans- the charity organisation responsible for developing the National Cycle Network - visited Badenoch and Strathspey recently to hold their most northerly board meeting and at the same time to recognise the achievement of creating the network routes in the Highlands. In Badenoch and Strathspey, the network route extends from Dalwhinnie in the south to Slochd Summit in the north and includes circular routes around Aviemore and Carrbridge. www.highland.gov.uk /cx/pressreleases/archive2001/july2001/sustrans.htm   (271 words)

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Public backs cycle network in lottery funding vote In a rare examination of public views on how lottery money should be spent, the £43.5m national cycle network - said to have saved 38m car journeys - was picked as the project which had made the biggest overall impact on UK life during the first decade of lottery funding. Tate Modern was spurned in favour of a cycle network, and the Lowry arts complex for a new coastal park in Wales. A "national hero" award went to Laurie Symes, 84, who took part in the D-day landings. www.guardian.co.uk /uk_news/story/0,3604,1345783,00.html   (383 words)

National Cycle Route Network A national network of bicycle routes is a key element of a sustainable transport system for tourism, utility travel and recreation. A major side benefit of encouraging bicycle tourism is that the networks we build can also serve some of the transport needs of local people, and can serve to encourage them to keep their own business in town. There are benefits for regional areas from the development of a National Cycle Route. www.multiline.com.au /~bta/pbug/1999/natcr.htm   (1655 words)

Cycling - National Cycle Network Whilst the National Cycle Network is ideal for family rides or longer cycling holidays, many people simply choose the routes as an alternative to using the car for local trips to work, school or the shops. The National Cycle Network (NCN) currently provides more than 7,000 miles of cycling and walking routes throughout the UK. About one-third of the UK Network is on paths which are free from motor traffic, with the rest using quiet lanes or traffic-calmed roads in towns or cities. www.roadsni.gov.uk /cycling/ncn.htm   (255 words)

National Cycle Network Route Five (Pete Ashton's Weblog) I decided to cycle in and, thanks to the shockingly useful Sustrans online cycle route map, took Route 5 of the National Cycle Network into town. Jez said on June 1 2005 at 8:15 AM THe route through Cannon Hill is a designated cycle route, yes, but, irritating as it may have been, it's not exclusively for the use of cyclists. The Hurst St cycle lane is regularly cut off by parked cars, and cycling is banned in the Bull Ring, even the open area from the market up to the bottom of New St. I've been stopped twice by burly jobsworths. peteashton.com /05/05/31/national_cycle_netwo.html   (1405 words)

Bicitalia - The Italian National Cycle Network With the widespread acceptance of EuroVelo, the European cycle route network, and the realisation of national cycle routes in several European countries, most recently in Switzerland and England, it has become crucial for Italy, to avoid being left behind, to embark on the development of a nationwide cycle network. Because the national network must fulfil several functions, the routes will be selected to follow the best touring possibilities available in rural or coastal areas, but will pass through historic city centres so as to allow the cyclist to safely reach the Duomo cathedral in Milan, the Colisseum in Rome, or Mergellina in Naples. The network consists of a series of north-south routes, crossed by routes running east-west from coast to coast, and these routes are based on existing local and regional routes wherever possible. www.fiab-onlus.it /english/bicitale.htm   (1523 words)

Hampshire County Council Summary 1.1 National cycle network proposals have been put forward by the cycling charity and consultancy Sustrans for new, primarily recreational cycle routes between Southampton, Eastleigh, Winchester and Romsey.
