Cycling in Livingston

In 1987 legislation was passed to enable the footpaths in Livingston to be used for cycling except at identified footbridges where cycling is prohibited for safety reasons (source; Leaflet entitled Cycle Routes in Livingston published in 1988 by Lothian Regional Council)

There are 144mls (230km) of traffic free walking and cycling routes (source: Spokes 2018 West Lothian Cycle Map). Thanks to these routes, it is possible to get to virtually any point in Livingston without having to cycle on any road. The routes are well signed and offer an opportunity to travel to local facilities safely and quickly by bike and to discover a Livingston that is mostly hidden to car travellers. National Cycle Network route 75 (Edinburgh - Glasgow) runs through West Lothian (Blackridge, Armadale, Bathgate, Livingston, Kirknewton). This route forms the main route in Livingston. The Livingston path network spreads off and to it.
