How many UK cycle routes?

The UK has approximately 10,000 miles of dedicated cycle routes, a figure that includes both on-road lanes and off-road paths. Campaigners like those in the story are pushing for more, especially in urban areas like Westminster, where existing infrastructure can be fragmented. The goal is to create safer, more connected networks for cyclists.
