Cycling

Cycling is a fun, healthy and environmentally-friendly way to get around Thurrock.

Cycling is also one of the cheapest ways to travel as you don't pay:

• fuel costs
• vehicle tax
• insurance
• licence or parking costs

Our cycle map shows the location of cycle paths, roads suitable for cycling, cycle crossings and cycle parking. There are many great places to go cycling in Thurrock.

Be safe, be seen

To increase visibility wear very bright clothing in the daytime and reflective clothing at night. When cycling at night you must have a white front light, red back light and reflector and all three must be in good working order.

It is illegal to cycle at night without lights and reflectors

Remember to keep all lights and reflectors clean and clear, you can also use spoke and pedal reflectors.
