Is there a map of cycle routes in the uk?

[Lee]

Im just curious if there is a web site (or facility) that allows you to plan a route using cycle
lanes - similar to the RAC/AA sites for motorists?

I'd like one that lets me plan a route that *avoids* roads with cycle lanes!

Is it just me or does everyone else find the Sustrans website unbelievably slow and crap for that
kind of thing. Usually when I try to zoom in I get a completely different area.

There's a Sustrans one on their website, but most of the out of town paths are only suitable for an
MTB. So much for "sustainable transport".

OK a lot of them would not suit a roadie so you have a point

Where is that? Around here the out of town Sustrans paths have decent surfaces. Some even have
tarmac surfaces. Of the non-Sustrans paths most are macadamised. There are some of the latter that
do not have good surfaces, which are marked on maps.
