Questions

What does the Merton cycling map show?

Every street in Merton coloured by how comfortable it is to cycle: protected cycleways, quiet streets, moderate streets, busy roads and paths shared with pedestrians. You can also turn on low traffic neighbourhoods, street lighting, bike collisions and live roadworks and closures from the layers button.

How do I get safe cycling directions in Merton?

Tap “Where to?” and pick a destination. Cyclemate plans a SuperSafe route that keeps you on cycleways and quiet streets, shows it beside the direct route, and explains what it avoided. Open it in the Cyclemate app for turn-by-turn navigation.

Which Cycleways run through Merton?

Cycleway 7 and Cycleway 31 run through Merton. They are drawn on the map, and SuperSafe routes along them whenever they head your way.

Does Merton have low traffic neighbourhoods?

Yes. Merton has low traffic neighbourhoods, shown on the map as shaded areas when the layer is on, and SuperSafe prefers the streets inside them.

Can I plan a ride from Merton to another borough?

Yes. The map and directions cover all of Greater London, so a ride can start in Merton and end in Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Sutton and Wandsworth or anywhere else in the city.

Does Cyclemate avoid unlit streets at night in Merton?

Yes. After dark in Merton, SuperSafe prefers well-lit streets and shows the share of your route that is lit.

Where does the Merton map data come from?

The map is built from OpenStreetMap, Transport for London and Department for Transport data, and reports from Cyclemate riders. Bike collisions come from TfL's road safety data.
