Neither EV2 nor EV12 are signed as EuroVelo routes, so cyclists would instead need to rely on the relevant national route (NCN) signage. Additionally the Avenue Verte international route between London and Paris begins in central London. The scheme lasted only three years before TfL decided to drop the Quietways brand, using ‘Cycleways’ for further new routes. All Quietways are now formally part of the Cycleways network and the delivered Quietways are being gradually rebranded as ‘Cycleways’ (and renumbered in most cases). Sometimes we may ask you to leave your bike with us so we can get one of our trained mechanics in place and / or order in the required parts. Some simple repairs are quick and can sometimes be carried out on the spot whilst other repairs can require more time and possibly require a part ordering in.
