The challenge

We were tasked with helping to make the Swansea area more cyclist-friendly and improve the experience for visitors, locals and anyone else who might find themselves navigating the area by bike.

What we did

We began by highlighting cycle routes and cycle-safe streets to clearly show where cyclists could go, creating a cycling route network that displays key landmarks, places and how they connect. We included off-road vehicle-free routes as well as topography.

The map made connections between residential areas help to connect people to the places they need to get to – whether that’s the city centre, beaches, sports and leisure facilities or university.

And of course, we outlined cycle facilities like cycle parking, cycle repair shops and cycle hire.

The solution

The maps we designed were integrated with coordinated cycle signage at all route junctions, making every cyclist’s experience of Swansea more positive, enjoyable and straightforward.
