KEIGHLEY-district cyclists can now plan journeys across West Yorkshire using a new online tool.

The facility has been launched on the Metro website, wymetro.com, which is managed by West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

By clicking on a blue cycle tab, users can access a journey plan for their trip, including a breakdown of the route and anticipated timings.

They can also choose an option of a faster, quieter or 'balanced' route.

Ben Still, for West Yorkshire Combined Authority, said: "This new element of the journey planner is great news for cyclists.

"By providing this kind of improvement, plus developing some of the country's best cycling and walking infrastructure, we are making active travel an everyday option for more and more people."

The website can also be used to plan bus, train and coach journeys.
