Support

There are a range of great cycling initiatives in Leicestershire aimed at helping as many people as possible get the most out of cycling in the area.

Leicestershire’s ‘Choose How You Move’ campaign offers a wide range of activities to encourage you to get out cycling in Leicestershire. The campaign has recently introduced a new schools initiative to encourage local schools to promote cycling, which includes a scheme to assist with secure cycle parking. Each school must have a travel plan and apply each year to be put forward for the grant awarded by the campaign which aims to helps people get fit, save money, have fun and help the environment - by leaving their cars at home.

Loughborough and Coalville

Through the ‘Choose How You Move - Smarter Travel for Business project’ extra funding has been secured by Leicestershire County Council to promote sustainable transport and boost the local economy in Loughborough and Coalville. The funding is helping to revitalise and promote great existing and new cycling routes in the area.

The ‘Fit for Business Challenge’ is the element of the ‘Smarter Travel for Business Project’ promoting greater use of the cycle route network, both to workplaces and the community, encouraging everyone to get out on their bikes and have fun discovering new cycling routes.
