Best Way to the Shops



Many of our off-road cycle routes are so useful for short journeys, as well as for longer recreational purposes.
Here in Mickleover on the West side of Derby, we have the choice of two routes to the Kingsway Retail Park, wherein lie Sainsburys, Halfords, Argos. Homebase and many other shops which supply our everyday needs.
The main road route is on very busy roads, admittedly with mediocre and intermittent cycle lanes, but not for the faint-hearted  and this may put off many potential cyclists.
The preferred route is across the fields on a well surfaced tarmac path, where there are no motor vehicles and the biggest danger is from pet dogs, who actually outnumber the cyclists.
Most of it is on National Cycle Route 54 which runs from Derby, via Burton-upon-Trent to Lichfield and beyond.
So take a look at my video of the route on YouTube.
