Route 17, also known as Cycling Road, is a north-south route in central Kanto. Anyone with with the Marsh Badge from Saffron City is allowed to go on it. If you have a bicycle you will go at normal bicycle speed downwards, while if you go upwards you will go the normal walking speed. If you simply choose to talk on this route, you will walk downwards at normal speed, however you will walk at half the walking speed if you go upwards. The northern terminus of Route 17 is at Route 16 on top of the steep hill that makes up the entire length of Route 17. The southern terminus is at the base of the hill, where it becomes Route 18. The hill makes traveling towards Fuchsia City a breeze. The slog uphill towards Celadon City is considerably slower and more difficult.
