Whatever your age or cycling ability, taking to the
towpaths on two wheels is a great way to escape rush
hour traffic, get some exercise and enjoy a little bit of
the countryside in the city.
To help you make the most of these fantastic routes,
Birmingham Cycle Revolution has created six
downloadable maps, each highlighting a key canal route
in the city. Download yours today at

The Towpath Code
Our waterways can be very lively spaces. Visit and you
could see cyclists, walkers, boaters, anglers, kayakers
and even horses pulling boats along the water. It’s
great to offer so many different opportunities to enjoy
our canals and rivers.
With so many different activities taking place, it
does mean that people need to share the space
considerately. To make sure everyone gets the most
out of their time by the water a Towpath Code has
been designed.

Bike 'Activators'
The Wellbeing Service offers residents
the opportunity to be active, improve
their health and connect with their local
community, across parks and green spaces
(through programmes such as Active Parks,
Run Birmingham), Wellbeing Centres and
community venues (via Be Active) and on
the streets (through Active Streets, Big
Birmingham Bikes).
The service enables everyone to participate,
regardless of income and ability and removes cost
and social distance as a barrier to participation.
Key to the success of the service is
the ability to engage some of the
hardest to reach communities
in activity and healthy
lifestyles.
Big Birmingham
Bikes have a team of
‘Activators’ who can
help you to co-ordinate
cycling and other sports
activities in your area.
For more information, please contact the ‘Activator’
