It's Our City Sheffield, added 10:44, 10 March 2020 (UTC) Cycling activismFor cycling, although hilly, Sheffield is compact and has few major trunk roads. It is on the Trans-Pennine Trail, a National Cycle Network route running from West to East from Southport in Merseyside to Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire and North to South from Leeds in West Yorkshire to Chesterfield in Derbyshire. There are many cycle routes going along country paths in the woods surrounding the city. [1] Food activismError in widget YouTube: Unable to load template 'wiki:YouTube'
