About CycleStreets
CycleStreets plans cycle routes across the UK using OpenStreetMap data. You can use the journey planner on the website or in the iOS and Android apps. The site also has more than 1,500 local area pages and a feedback form for reporting route problems.
Alongside the planner is Photomap, a shared collection of more than 165,000 photos and videos of cycling infrastructure that anyone can browse or add to. The service is still marked as beta, and some areas do not yet have complete cycle route data.
