Although hilly, Sheffield is compact and has few major trunk roads, therefore [[cycling in South Yorkshire|cycling in Sheffield]] is a popular method of transport. 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, Derbyshire|Chesterfield]] in Derbyshire.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.transpenninetrail.org.uk/ |title=Welcome to the Trans Pennine Trail – Home Page |publisher=Trans Pennine Trail |access-date=7 August 2009 |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20160516175804/http://www.transpenninetrail.org.uk/ |archive-date=16 May 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> There are many cycle routes going along country paths in the woods surrounding the city, and an increasing number of cycle lanes in the city itself.
