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 couple of rims and several spokes that make up a wheel. This is not complete yet however as not all the constituent parts are completed. We do have safer options to get around town however, which aren’t always clear to the uninitiated.
This page sets our collections of routes as map images. Simply click on a map image to explore our selection of routes in 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 do 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.
Leisure Rides
Thinking of getting out on your bike in and around Linslade and Leighton Buzzard? We have route suggestions that use cycle infrastructure where possible. These routes range from 3 to 10 miles (5 to 16 km), and some of the cycle-friendly paths and leisure spots, such as the Grand Union Canal, Tiddenfoot Waterside Park, Rushmere Country Park, and paths that pass along the River Ouzel, The routes typically start in Leighton Buzzard town centre, which provides plenty of shops, cafes, and bars for you to enjoy before or after your ride.
Mixed Terrain Rides
Embark on an adventure from Leighton Buzzard and Linslade with our collection of out and back light off-road leisure routes. These routes, spanning up to 25 miles (40 km), offer a delightful biking experience. To tackle these paths, it’s recommended to have a bike with light off-road capable tires such as a Hybrid, Gravel, or MTB.
