Cycle for fun, exercise and commuting

Cycling Strategy

The Essex Cycling Strategy (originally published in 2016) aimed to encourage Essex residents, workers and visitors to enjoy the health benefits of cycling, which also offers an affordable travel choice for journeys around our towns. As well as encouraging more leisure and family bike rides to enjoy the Essex countryside.

The strategy acts as the overarching policy framework to enable, provide and promote cycling in Essex and has now been updated and adopted. Read the strategy.

The strategy is part of a wider set of plans to make Essex safer, greener, and healthier, and to provide more sustainable travel choices for everyone.
