Plan your bike riding trip

Use Trip Planner to plan your bike trip

Use the Trip Planner to plan a bike ride or combine cycling with public transport. You can choose your route, schedule, and ride distance to suit your needs.

Use the Trip Planner to plan your journey in four steps:

  1. Enter your destination – type a place name or select it on the map.
  2. Choose your origin – Use your current location, type an address, or pick on the map.
  3. Set date and time – Tap Leaving now to choose Now, Leave at or Arrive by.
  4. Select the Cycle tab and select your cycling option:
    1. Easier – For new cyclists, young riders, or those avoiding hills and busy roads.
    2. Moderate – For intermediate cyclists comfortable with some hills and occasional road riding.
    3. More direct – For experienced cyclists who can handle steeper hills and busy roads.

 

The Trip Planner can combine bike riding with public transport – for example, riding from home to a station, taking the train, then riding to your destination.

You can set whether you want to include bike ride at the start or end of your trip, and how long you are willing to spend bike riding.

To plan a mixed trip:

  1. Enter your destination and starting point
  2. Under Filter, choose whether to include cycling at the start and/or end of your trip.
  3. Set how long you are willing to spend cycling.
