Cycling

Cycling is a fast, affordable, and eco-friendly way to get around - perfect for commuting, errands, or exploring. For short and medium trips, it’s often quicker than driving, especially when roads are busy or parking is tight.

Why Cycle?

  • Healthy: Boosts your heart, lungs, and mood - even short rides help.

  • Affordable: After buying a bike, there's little to pay - no fuel, tax, or parking.

  • Green: No emissions or pollution - just clean, quiet travel.

  • Convenient: Skip the traffic and ride door to door.

While Hillhead Road and Kergilliack Road don’t have cycle lanes, traffic is light and cycling is comfortable. Try the Falmouth and Penryn Active Travel Map on the adjacent page for quiet routes like Union Road and Bickland Hill.
