One of the few places many local people are prepared to cycle, using the tracks around Rutland Water which are traffic-free. As Iain says, it can be very busy in summer and at weekends. The Giant store at the car-park is handy if you need an emergency fix, not to mention a new bike or kit. As a committed roadie I often call in at the car-park for a lunch outdoors at the cafe. The roads along the South Shore are much quieter than the A606 along the North Shore.
