Bolton has around 50 kms of pathways for cyclists and riders to discover!

There are also shorter routes around Smithills and Moses Gate country parks. These provide the opportunity for quiet off-road riding but may be a little far from home for some people.

Check out this free map of Bolton’s cycle network, available from Transport for Greater Manchester.

Cycling training

If you’re a beginner that’s looking to get started or a pro that wants to sharpen their skills, why not take a riding course and improve your confidence and safety whilst riding.

These sessions are available to everyone above the age of 12 when accompanied by an adult, or 16 when unaccompanied.

Sessions on maintenance are also available which will teach you useful skills on how to ensure your bike is always ready to be pushed to the max.
