Cycling and bike paths

Bike paths and on-road cycling routes have a number of benefits, including:

• allowing drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to share the road safely
• encouraging the use of bicycles as a healthy and sustainable way to get around.

The Whittlesea Bicycle Users Group (BUG) have developed the City of Whittlesea TravelSmart Maps to provide clear and accessible information about sustainable transport options.

The maps include information about bicycle, walking and public transport routes in the local area. TravelSmart Maps make it easy to find a cycling route and make sustainable travel plans.

The Northern Trails Strategy (2022) is a collaboration between Banyule, Hume, Merri-bek, Darebin, Nillumbik and Whittlesea councils.

The strategy will guide the planning and development of regional trails in the north over the next 10 years.
