Reasons to walk• Walking is good for your

heart and lungs, and is great for strengthening your muscles, bones and joints

• Walking helps improve your mood and boosts self-esteem

• Walking burns as many calories as jogging over the same distance

Reasons to cycle• Cycling is perfect for travelling short

distances in urban areas

• Cyclists are as fit as someone 10 years younger

• A 20-minute bike ride to work could use the same amount of calories as a cappuccino, a bar of chocolate or a 175ml glass of wine

Traffic-Free Cycle RidesOur official guidebook brings together 150 of the UK’s finest traffic-free walking and cycling routes in celebration of 20 years of the National Cycle Network.

Offering a unique glimpse into the UK’s remarkable landscapes, history, culture and architecture; the rides range from the wild and ethereal mountain tracks of Snowdonia, to fairy tale woodland trails through the Forest of Dean, and elegant city centre paths linking London’s Royal Parks and palaces. The majority of routes are entirely traffic-free, but some involve short sections on quiet roads, or safe places to cross main roads where necessary.

Inspiring and informative, this is a comprehensive guide to traffic-free cycling and a fitting tribute to the National Cycle Network on its 20th anniversary, with a foreword from Olympic gold medallist Joanna Rowsell MBE.

Visit www.sustrans.org.uk/shop for a great range of cycle maps, guidebooks, and a variety of cycling merchandise.
