Green Wheel Routes

We’re working towards Leighton Buzzard’s “Green Wheel”. The idea behind this is to have a series of safe cycle routes that when drawn on a map will have a couple of rims and several spokes that make up a wheel. However, this is not yet complete as not all the constituent parts have been completed. We do have safer options to get around town, which aren’t always clear to the uninitiated.

This page shows some of these routes using images of the routes in images, along with a link to the route drawn using Komoot. If you create an account with Komoot (which is free) you will be able to follow the route on your smartphone, or indeed load the .gpx file to your GPS cycle computer. If you choose to use your phone for navigation please either mount the phone to your handlebars or keep it in a pocket and only refer to the route when stationary and it’s safe to do so.

Green Wheel Inner Rim

This is Leighton Buzzard’s “Inner Rim” of the Green Wheel network. Use this to get around Leighton Buzzard while staying on the quieter roads and traffic-free cycle lane.

A Green Wheel Inner Rim – Clockwise route is also available which follows a slightly different route to take account on one-way streets.
