Cycling is also convenient, ecologically friendly,
promotes better health, and can be much quicker than other forms of
transport - including the car. It can also save you money in fares
and fuel.
Cycle Lanes
To help cyclists, we are introducing a network of cycle lanes
throughout the borough. There is a map showing our proposed routes,
available from local libraries, council offices and other public
places.
Parking your bike
We are currently introducing new cycle parking facilities across
the borough so that there will be somewhere to secure you bike at
your destination. These will be at places such as railway and DLR
stations, shopping centers, and other popular sites in Newham.
The Greenway
We are not neglecting those who want to cycle in their leisure time
either. With the Greenway offering a traffic free east-west route
across the borough, leading to the Lea Valley Way - you can cycle
all the way to Waltham Abbey!
Bike by train
And remember you can take
your bike on the Barking-Gospel Oak line enabling you to commute
all the way to Hampstead Heath via the Lea Valley. For more
information contact Silverlink
Trains on 0845 601 4867.
