Paul from our Leeds shop has come up with a few cycle routes in Leeds and surrounding areas for all cyclists, but especially good for electric bikes.

Roundhay to Temple Newsam

Distance: 10 miles
Description: An easy ride of approx 10 miles. Quite flat and on quiet roads or cycle lanes for the vast majority of it. Park up at either end and take a steady ride to visit the Cafe either at Temple Newsam or Roundhay Park before enjoying a nice amble back to the car.

A Day Out on the Canal

Distance: 27 miles
Description: Take a trip out along the tow path on the iconic Leeds Liverpool canal to the Victorian model village of Saltaire. A round trip of approx 28 miles but don’t let the distance faze you, the only hills on this ride are over bridges and locks!

Otley to Cavendish Pavillion and back

Distance: 26 miles
Description: Starting in the historic market town of Otley, this route takes you along the well visited route along the River Wharfe to the Cavendish Pavillion which is a cafe situated in the beautiful grounds of the Bolton Abbey Estate. The route is a hilly one and so is perfect to test both your E-bike and your legs!
