Maps

The first CycleCity map was of Bristol and surrounding area in 1996. Like many other CycleCity maps, it was innovative - highlighting the small cycle-friendly roads at the expense of motorways and A-roads. Since then the company has produced many hundreds of maps and guides for cycling, walking and public transport.

We like to think our maps are of the highest quality and are individually designed for the purpose for which they were intended. Many of the early maps are in their fourth or fifth edition and are continuously improved and updated.

CycleCity is an Ordnance Survey licenced partner and uses specialist map printers to give a professional finish to all paper products. We work closely with Sustrans, a major partner, to produce large numbers of local leaflets as well as national maps and guides. We produced maps for five of the six first generation Cycling Demonstration Towns and have worked in all of the major conurbations in the country, producing high-quality cycling and walking maps.
