Funded by the Merseyside Local Authorities and Merseytravel, we aim to make it easier for everyone to make journeys without a car. Most people are already TravelWise for all or many of their journeys, but the number of trips being made by car in Merseyside is rising rapidly, meaning car travel is getting slower. If we want to avoid the congestion and pollution seen in other big cities we all need to think about the best way of making each journey. We have lots of options in Merseyside, trying them out is a wise move for us and our future. This leaflet shows how cycling is a wiser way to travel and get around Speke more easily by bike. www.LetsTravelWise.org Telephone: 0151 330 1253 Cycle Speke Getting around Speke on your bike Welcome to your Cycle Speke guide This guide has been produced by Liverpool City Council with input from the local community. There are many reasons for cycling, and many different journey purposes for making that journey by bike. Whatever your reason might be, we want you to cycle - and to cycle more. Cycling is simply great fun everyone can enjoy! By getting on your bike more often, you can get fitter, get to where you need to be on time and for free, and find out what’s in Speke. Cycling makes the city a more fun, open and exciting place to be. That’s what we want for Speke – and why we’ve launched Cycle Speke. The map shows you the suggested cycle routes around Speke and the facilities within easy cycling distance. You may find you have alternative suggested routes shown, in which case you could just try them both! What can you see in Speke? Whether you are interested in history, culture or shopping you will find lots of places within easy cycling distance. This variety gives you the wonderful freedom of choosing exactly the experience you are looking for. Speke is known for Speke Hall which is considered to be one of the most outstanding examples of timber-framed Tudor buildings in Britain. Set in delightful gardens and woodlands with spectacular views of the Mersey, Speke Hall, Garden and Estate is managed by the National Trust. Get there on your bike and you will get discounted entry. Speke Garston Coastal Reserve. A local nature reserve with wildflower meadows and panoramic views of the Mersey. The site is also a great place to enjoy watersports at the Liverpool Sailing Club.

Haven’t ridden a bike in a while? Confused about equipment? If you need a little support getting started, the following could be for you. Cycling sessions can be tailor made to suit your skills and needs. Maintenance sessions will be hands on. Both are free for Speke residents to help new and returning cyclists! To arrange the time and place that’s best for you, just call Jennifer Boardman at BikeRight! on 0151 482 5700 or visit www.bikeright.co.uk/freewheeling Getting around and about by bike and train For longer trips, a short ride to the bus or train puts you well on the way. This makes it easier to get to school or your workplace, or when travelling into Liverpool City Centre where parking can be a problem. Bikes go free on all Merseyside trains. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes from Liverpool South Parkway to the City Centre. Frequent Northern and City Line trains operate both from Liverpool South Parkway and Hunts Cross rail stations towards Liverpool Lime Street and Liverpool Central in the City Centre and outwards for stations in Warrington, Widnes and Manchester. To find out which bus or train you want, call Traveline on 0871 200 22 33 – a local person will talk you through the times, and anything else you might need. 090305/IS/TM/08O9/P Updated September 2011.
