South Yorkshire by bike

Get on the saddle for South Yorkshire by Bike – a new 250 km route visiting every corner of South Yorkshire. Along the way we highlight Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield’s industrial heritage, cultural attractions and brilliant green spaces, hidden gems, as well as community bike hubs, new cycle lanes and other points of interest. 

The route has been designed by well-known cycling hero and influencer, Emily Chappell, who has recently moved to our region.

We’ve planned the route to spend as much time as possible on traffic-free paths, segregated cycle lanes and quiet roads. But you'll need to check each part of the route before you ride it and make sure you feel confident that you’re happy to ride.

In addition to the main route, there are eight shorter, accessible and family-friendly routes for you to try. If you are looking for free things to do with the kids over the summer or beyond, try cycling in South Yorkshire with our list of bike routes and maps.
