Norfolk County Council has been working with Norwich City Council, Broadland District Council and South Norfolk District Council to produce a cycle network for the Norwich area. This work is now complete.

As of the 18 January 2012 the cycle network was adopted as part of the Norwich Area Transportation Strategy Implementation Plan (NATS IP). We will focus our future investment on developing the cycle network to improve facilities for cyclists. Our cycle network is ambitious and the speed at which we can deliver these improvements will depend on the availability of funding. The cycle network is organised around five core radial routes called pedalways that cross the city, passing through the centre and out to villages within cycle commuting distance. There are also two circular pedalways (inner and outer) and numerous local routes. We intend to help people follow the pedalways using coloured markers which identify each route separately.

During the process of developing the cycle network we consulted a number of stakeholders and held consultation rides along the core routes. Many comments were received and a number of stakeholders joined us on our consultation rides. Subsequently, a number of changes have been made to the draft network from November 2011.

We intend to produce a route finding map for cyclists in spring. This map will be designed to be easy to use and will assist both new and current cyclists in navigating the Norwich area on a bicycle.
