European funds have been used to produce a new map of Cambridge for cyclists.

What’s different about the new map is that it includes French and Spanish as well as English. It gives information on cycle hire and tours, as well as recommending a cycle tour of the city centre and routes out to Grantchester and Ely.

Tourists – and locals – can pick up the map at the Tourist Information Centre, or the railway station. It’s also being given to local hotels and cycle-hire and tour companies.

The maps are being funded for by the European ‘Bike Friendly Cities’ project, so it is apt that they will be helping European visitors. However, it will be to everyone’s benefit if we can increase understanding of where you can cycle and where not, and what the cycling rules are.

I’m pleased we are producing the map in other languages. English speakers are well catered for abroad, and I would like to see more material in other languages for the benefit of visitors from abroad.
