The Bike Park
From Leicester's bike park this route takes you back in time to the night of 19th November 1940 and the Leicester blitz. See what effect the bombing raid had on the shape of the city as you cycle on traffic free and suburban roads. History, stories, architecture and a great ride - this circular route of around 7.5 miles has it all.
