The National Cycle Network is a comprehensive network of safe and attractive routes to cycle, running throughout the UK.  about  12000 miles have been completed, one third of which is on traffic-free paths, the rest  follows quiet lanes or traffic-calmed roads. It is delivered through the policies and programmes of over 450 local authorities and other partners, and is co-ordinated by Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity.

Sustrans' vision is a world in which people choose to travel in ways that benefit their health and the environment. They work on practical, innovative solutions to the transport challenges facing us all. Sustrans is the charity behind the award winning National Cycle Network, Safe Routes to Schools, Bike It, TravelSmart, Active Travel and Liveable Neighbourhoods, all projects that are changing our world one mile at a time.

Sustrans' work relies on support of charitable trusts, businesses, the National Lottery and local authority programmes as well as the generous donations and monthly standing orders of  it's Supporters.
