How Cyclemate routes it
Riding C11 with SuperSafe™
SuperSafe rates 41% of Cycleway 11 quiet. Our directions follow the protected and quiet sections and leave the signed route where it runs along a busy road, picking a parallel back street instead, so a Cyclemate route may not match the signs for the whole way.
Plan a ride between its ends and tap "Why this route?" to see which parts of C11 it used and what it steered around.

Notes and sources
Cycleway 11 is drawn from the 3 OpenStreetMap route relations tagged with its number in the June 2026 London extract our routing map is built from. Length is the sum of the mapped ways. Protected means a cycleway in its own right or a road with a mapped separate track. Quiet and lit are SuperSafe™ ratings from the Cyclemate London map over the 89% of the route it holds.
