Become a supporter
You don’t have to decide where you’re going – cycle.travel can suggest a route for you.
Click a start point on the map, or type a placename into the “From” field. Then click “Suggest a route”.
cycle.travel will suggest a circular ride for you. You can drag the slider to make it longer or shorter. When you find a route you like, click it, and you can then edit or save it.
As above, click a start point on the map, or type a placename into the “From” field. Click Suggest a route.
Then click Show by ‘Tour ideas’.
Several multi-day tours will be shown on the map, each with an overnight stop in an area where you can find accommodation. Use the sliders to change your daily riding distance and the number of days.
From the website front page, type your start point, then choose “Pub/cafe ride”, “Hotel overnight” or “Camping overnight” from the multiple choice buttons. You’ll see a page with a selection of day and overnight rides. Drag the slider to change the ride distance.
If you’ve been a cycle.travel supporter and you’d like to cancel this, here’s how to do it. (And thank you for having been a supporter!)
There are different ways to cancel depending whether you signed up on the website, on the iPhone app, or the Android app. Please note that cycle.travel doesn’t take your payments directly so we can’t cancel your supporter status for you.
cycle.travel’s supporter scheme is provided by Patreon.com. You can cancel from their website.
You’ll no longer have access to supporter features such as extra maps, PDF downloads, the cycle.travel newsletter and additional app features.
We don’t have any known issues with the app at present (March 2026). Please check you’ve updated to the latest version available from your app store.
If you’re still stuck, the best place to get help is on the cycle.travel forum. Here you can post questions and browse previous threads.
You can also email [email protected], but please do bear in mind that cycle.travel is a small operation (essentially a one-man band) and it might take a while to get to your query – please do use the site forum if you can.
cycle.travel’s mapping is purpose-designed for cyclists. It shows minor roads earlier than other maps, and highlights safe infrastructure and waymarked cycle routes.
You can see a map key, or legend, by clicking Key at the top right of the map.
On the mobile app, click the map symbol at the top right then choose Key/legend.
Signposted/waymarked cycle routes are shown by coloured dots, plus a numeric or letter code.
The numbers or letters usually relate to what you’ll see on the signs. To find the name of the route, just plan a route using that section, and click on it. The popup that appears will show the route name.
By becoming a cycle.travel supporter, you can choose to view different maps. These include satellite images, OpenCycleMap, and national mapping such as Ordnance Survey (UK) or IGN (France).
Our maps and routing are updated approximately once a month. While the map is being updated (usually overnight, European time), the map you see on cycle.travel will temporarily switch to the default OpenStreetMap cartography, which doesn’t show bike routes. This only lasts a few hours.
