Icon Overview of CycleStreets: your questions answered

Map Key

The Icon cycle map legend describes the map symbols and lines.

The main maps on this site come from a project called OpenCycleMap (which is part of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project).

Units of measurement

The site normally displays distances and heights in miles and feet.

If you'd like to change to metric units you can do so, but it requires signing-in to the site. Once signed-in go to the map settings page.

Journey Planner help

Our Journey Planner provides arguably the leading online cycle route planning facility in the UK. As well as enabling you to plan routes from A to B, you can see photographs of locations on the journey. You can choose the fastest, quietest or most direct route.

Photomap help

The Photomap lets you view and add cycling-related photos in your area and beyond. By categorising these photos, galleries showing a range of good and poor practice are created, which can be useful in influencing decision-makers.
