Tardebigge Locks

Highlight • Cycleway

Make sure you've got the right tyres on your bike. I was riding my tourer and the tyres needed to be a bit more aggressive for the muddy tow path.

Tardebigge Locks Flight

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

I cycled this tow path on a road bike. Lots of rooty bits and lumpy rocks. Not ideal but it worked. Suited ideally for gravel or mtb
