Andover and its surrounds

The Borough Council is developing a network of cycle paths and footways to enable and encourage access within the town and to popular key destinations by foot or by bike.

These maps provide details of existing foot and cycle ways in Andover. For routes further afield please visit our website and search for ‘cycling and walking’.

www.testvalley.gov.uk

Planning your cycle tripThere are many resources on websites and smart phone apps that can help you make the most of your bike.

The My Journey website provides information and links for a choice of “quick”, “medium” and “slow/quiet” routes. It also provides up-to-date information about the development of new routes and facilities within Hampshire.

Plan your journey in advance, making the best use of available routes and facilities. Try to avoid potential hazards, such as roundabouts, or areas where you feel less confident. If in doubt, get off and push the bike.

www.myjourneyhampshire.com

Advice for cyclistsKeep your bike in sound working order, paying particular attention to brakes, tyres and lights. Keep reflectors clean. Use front/rear lights and a red rear reflector if you plan to cycle at night, or when visibility is poor. Fluorescent and reflective clothing and accessories could save your life. A cycle helmet is a sensible investment. Ensure that it is comfortable and adjusted to fit correctly.

Be responsible, courteous and patient with others who are moving more slowly than you and give each other space. Communicate your intentions by talking to people, signalling or using your bell. Ensure that you comply with the rules and guidance within the Highway Code.

Bike SecurityAlways lock your bike when you leave it. A good quality D-shaped lock is better than a padlock or chain. If possible lock your bike by the frame and wheels to a bike stand. For further advice about how to secure your bike please visit:

www.hampshire.police.ukwww.immobilise.com

Cycling with childrenChild carriers on a bicycle should always support the child’s head and not permit the feet to get near the wheels.

Level three (Advanced) is available up until age 14. Adult cycle training info about what we provide and what local Cycle trainers are able to provide.
