Cycling in Eastleigh
Eastleigh Borough Council has an approved cycling strategy for
the borough. Already major elements of a borough wide safe
cycle route network have been built particularly in Eastleigh
itself and Hedge End. In total there are over 44Km of
dedicated cycle routes within the Borough with over 40 locations
with cycle parking facilities, including the Borough's seven
railway stations.

Cycle Journey
Planner
The Department for Transport have been working alongside
Transport Direct, an online journey planning tool to create a cycle
journey planner enabling cyclists to plan door-to-door trips.
By inputting your start point and destination, you can then
choose to search for the quickest, quietest or most recreational
route. The route is then displayed on a map with turn by turn
instructions. The gradient profile of the route, the journey
distance and the estimated time are also included.
The Cycle Journey Planner will be available to use from January
2011 via the following link:
