- Comment on Bicyclists are celebrating a new segregated bike lane linking three cities in southern England 5 days ago:
Cyclists have hailed a new multi-million pound cycle route as a “gamechanger” as construction nears completion.
The Gloucestershire Cycle Spine, a segregated cycle lane linking Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve, has caused months of disruption but is now due to be finished in March 2026.
A cycling campaign group has hailed the ambitious scheme, which in future could end stretching 26 miles (42km) and all the way to Stroud.
Gloucestershire County Council said the scheme was already causing a boost to the number of people cycling.
The £48m scheme has been criticised after roadworks caused disruption in both Gloucester and Cheltenham.
