What are the roads like for Cyclists?
There are main artery roads running throughout the spine of the islands with smaller tracks and paths leading from them, see our road map. These roads are a mixture of two way and single track. Where it is single track, vehicle drivers are usually considerate to cyclists and will pull into passing places to let you past and vice versa but national speed limits apply (60 miles) so fast moving traffic does occur, take care on corners when you cannot see oncoming traffic. It is nice to utilise the b class roads which are generally more scenic and with minimal traffic. Traffic in Britain keeps to the Left unlike continental Europe so be aware at junctions and roundabouts if you are travelling from Europe.
