The city is very flat and compact, with few steep hills to climb, so you are never far from your destination. Many journeys that you may usually make by car are ideal for cycling thanks to the network of cycle routes that Portsmouth has to offer.
For those longer journeys it is possible to combine cycling with either a bus or train. And remember, maintaining and using a bike costs much less than owning and running a car.
Here you can download the Portsmouth cycle map and the Portsmouth cycle users guide.
For a more leisurely cycle, why not follow the Seafront Cycle Ride and the Langstone Harbour Cycle Ride, taking in the sights and attrations of Portsmouth as you ride.
