Riding in Jersey

Jersey has a unique network of Green Lanes that give priority to cyclists, making it perfect for getting around on two wheels. 

Whether you're completely new to cycling or a bike pro, there are opportunities to cycle all around Jersey. 

Cycle More

Feeling nervous about riding? The Move More Cycle programmes support those who may be at the start of their cycling journey. They offer three levels of programmes:

1. Learn to Ride- for complete beginners 
2. Sofa2Saddle - for those who know how to cycle, but need support becoming confident 
3. Gaining Momentum - for those who want to increase their saddle time on different routes and terrain

The classes build confidence and fitness gradually and are a great way to meet new people. 

Move More also have regular FREE cycle rides, led by qualified ride leaders. There is a choice of Women Only rides or Mixed Rides which offer six ability levels.

Cycle Without Limits 

To make cycling in Jersey as inclusive as possible, Move More has founded Jersey's first Inclusive Cycling Centre, Cycle Without Limits. They offer sessions on an adapted range of cycles so that adults and children with disabilities or mobility issues can enjoy riding in a safe, outdoor space. To book a session, register on the Move More website.

Cycle racks

There are 3 types of cycle racks you can use free of charge across the Island. Find further information, including a map of cycle rack locations.

Check the weather before you cycle

Think about the weather before you start your journey and adapt your clothing. Also make sure you consider road conditions.

Countryside codes of conduct

There are many off-road cycle routes around the Island located within the countryside and many paths cross private land. 

When you cycle in these areas, take extra care and precaution to protect wildlife and other users.

When cycling you should:

• behave responsibly, be courteous and respect other users
• give priority to pedestrians and animals
• always follow the Countryside Code
• follow the Jersey Highway Code when cycling on roads
• keep to the left when approaching others
• travel at a speed that is appropriate to the conditions and make sure you’re able to stop quickly if you need to
• call out or use a bell when approaching others from behind
• keep your speed down, be prepared to stop and allow animals plenty of space.
