cycling

It's healthy, fast and above all, low cost!

Tyne & Wear has an extensive and growing cycle network, focusing on quiet streets and traffic-free paths. That's why more and more people are giving it a go.

Gosforth, Fenham, Benwell, Bensham, Felling, Walker, Heaton. All of these areas are within 3 miles of Newcastle City Centre. The same goes for Fulwell, Pennywell and Grangetown - all within 3 miles of Sunderland City Centre.

3 miles is an easy cycle ride which will take most people around 20 minutes. Even cycling 4 or 5 miles should take no more than 30-40 minutes at a pretty modest speed, so don’t be put off if you live a bit further from your destination.
