Questions

What does the Tower Hamlets cycling map show?

Every street in Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets?

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 Tower Hamlets?

Cycleway 2, Cycleway 3, Cycleway 13 and Cycleway 37 run through Tower Hamlets. They are drawn on the map, and SuperSafe routes along them whenever they head your way.

Does Tower Hamlets have low traffic neighbourhoods?

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

Yes. The map and directions cover all of Greater London, so a ride can start in Tower Hamlets and end in City of London, Hackney and Newham or anywhere else in the city.

Does Cyclemate avoid unlit streets at night in Tower Hamlets?

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