Roll and stroll - get cycling and walking
Cycling and walking is becoming more popular than ever - it's great for your head and health and is great fun too!
Across the West Midlands, we have big plans to make it easier for people to get around on foot or bike, delivering an easy and sustainable way for you to travel. More cycling and walking is good for everyone, it:
- Helps improve health and wellbeing and reduces obesity
- Makes local travel easier and reduces congestion
- Improves air quality and is good for the environment
- Makes our region a nicer place to be and live
If you’re new to riding a bike, or returning after a gap, we can help you get started with cycling. Do you prefer walking? We’ve got lots of walking advice and activities.
