Many of these are well-known already but some aren\u2019t \u2013 a good example being the Loanhead cyclepath out to Rosslyn Chapel in the Edinburgh guide. It\u2019s a great route through attractive countryside with a wonderful visitor attraction at the end of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a surprising number of \u2018traffic-lite\u2019 routes that are popular with younger or less confident riders, especially in London with the growth of their numbered Cycleway routes. Many of these are created by only allowing pedestrian and cycle through traffic, meaning they are virtually traffic-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example is Cycleway 27, offered as a return option in the Islington to Victoria Park route. Occasionally busy road crossings are unavoidable \u2013 these are clearly flagged in the route introductions so families can be ready for them and easily negotiate them safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-have-a-favourite-route-from-both-of-the-books-you-can-share-with-us-what-makes-them-stand-out\">Do you have a favourite route from both of the books you can share with us?

There are fantastically fun-packed attractions along the way too, including the world\u2019s shortest golf course, Edinburgh Zoo, modern entertainments at Fountain Park and shopping and eating opportunities galore at Haymarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>London <\/strong>&#8211; Along the Thames A real blockbuster of a route in terms of tourist attractions which include Covent Garden, St Paul\u2019s Cathedral and the Tower of London. High quality cycle lanes on the Thames north bank give great views before a boat crossing of the river (with your bikes) whilst traffic-free and traffic-lite streets on the south bank lead you to recross the river with stunning views of it from Blackfriars Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-have-any-top-tips-for-families-new-to-cycling-in-cities-and-urban-environments-other-than-buying-one-of-your-guide-books-of-course\">Do you have any top tips for families new to cycling in cities and urban environments?
