This could win the award for the most useless of many useless cycle routes in WMDC |

Route A (South West Corner)
|
Well, this is it. The western terminus of the entire Flanshaw - Alverthorpe cyclo complex, a Mecca for the two wheeled traveller, the culmination of years of thinking, organisation and huge capital outlay. A must visit, it combines breathtaking scenery with immense utility for thousands of commuters each day. With forward planning like this the future of cycling in Wakefield looks assured! |
