If youre cycling to the shops or to work its unlikely there will always be a totally traffic-free option for you to take. If this is the case find out if there is a cycling map or guide for your local area and make sure you know the Highway Code. It can also be really useful to go out with a friend until you build enough confidence up to cycle the roads on your own.

You can plan your route using the National Cycle Networks interactive map.
