Take a Ride on Chester’s Traffic-free Cyclepaths

Chester’s cycling infrastructure features traffic-free routes, including canalside paths and the Millennium Greenway.  Cycling these routes is a great family activity that won’t break the bank!

Get Fit! Get Active! Join the Fun!

Whether it is for fun, for fitness, or for just getting around Chester, the bike is the way to go!  Everyone is waking up to the fact that cycling is the cheapest, greenest, and healthiest form of transport.

Artist’s Impression of New River Dee Bridge

A new pedestrians’ and cyclists’ bridge over the River Dee onto the Meadows is one of the flagship projects of the Chester Cycle Demonstration Town initiative.                                        

                                                                              

The bridge would be built with Connect2 and Cycle Demonstration Town monies. However, devoting so much of the CDT budget to such a large engineering project raises the question of whether this is the best way to spend money to increase the number of cyclists in Chester. Some hold the view that the money would be better spent on a number of smaller projects, or on improvements to the Hoole Road railway bridge.

Nevertheless, a dramatic new river crossing would have publicity value and could serve act as a focal point and symbol of the CDT project. Option appraisals and costings are currently being carried out.
