Cycling can be a relaxed ride or a proper workout, and it’s great for getting around too. Waltham Forest has 58km of cycle lanes, making it safer and easier to get around, and you don't need to be a pro cyclist with expensive gear. In Waltham Forest, anyone can learn skills, try different cycles and build confidence.
