Cycling has a key role to play in reducing traffic congestion and harmful emissions, providing affordable transport and helping people stay physically and mentally healthy.

That’s why we want to make cycling in Rotherham simple, safe and accessible.

The Rotherham Cycling Strategy will provide guiding principles from which we will work to improve the borough’s cycling provision and encourage more people to make more journeys by bike.
