The numbers of people cycling in and around the
Leeds area has increased dramatically in recent
years.
General road improvements, cycle lanes, changing
attitudes to health and more ecologically friendly
lifestyles have all resulted in more cyclists on our
roads. Leeds City centre can be difficult for many
cyclists to navigate because of the "city loop road"
system but on the whole Leeds is a safe place to cycle.
