John Grimshaw CBE (born 1945) is a voice for cyclists in the UK.

Sustrans, run by Grimshaw, started the National Cycle Routes. The signposts are a cycle with a number outlined in red. Also, on the routes, there is usually a cast-iron signpost. Grimshaw has a signpost in his front garden as a reminder of his work.

After 30 years with Sustrans, Grimshaw decided to step down from the role of Chief Executive,[1] wanting to pursue other opportunities.

After stepping down, Grimshaw remained active advising and surveying potential new cycle routes for Cycling England[2] before its abolition in 2011.
