The Seven Strategic Cycle Routes will:

• be direct and coherent, giving clarity throughout the route and fully integrate with neighbourhood routes

• be attractive enough to get people to 'dust down their bikes' and not just appeal to the 'experienced' cyclist

• feel intrinsically safe to the user: away from fast traffic and avoid conflict by giving cyclists greater priority
