Urban routes
Urban routes are cycling routes that run through cities and towns. They can be on-road or off-road, and are usually the quickest and most direct way to get around town.
Most urban routes follow a grid pattern, with roads running north-south and east-west. This makes it easy to navigate, as you can simply follow the grid to get from one point to another.
Urban routes can be great for commuting, as they often take you through the centre of town, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. They can also be a fun way to explore a new city.
If you're new to urban cycling, here are a few tips to help you get started,
1. Make sure your bike is in good condition and that you know how to fix a flat tire.
2. Always wear a helmet.
3. Obey all traffic laws and signals.
4. Ride defensively and be aware of your surroundings.
5. Plan your route in advance, using a map or GPS.
6. Be prepared for crowded streets and intersections.
7. Use hand signals to indicate your intentions to other drivers.
8. Keep an eye out for potholes and other hazards.
9. Be patient and take your time.
The best way to learn is to practice, so go out and ride your urban route!.
