Good to see you mention bad as well as good. There is some great stuff in Cardiff but does feel like it’s slowed up recently and there are some frustrating missing links/infrastructure inaccessible to non standard cycles/easy wins not being done. I teach adult learners at Cardiff Pedal Power and nothing shows up the good and bad like riding around with a learner/someone on a trike. Come and visit us next time you’re in Cardiff! There are a lot more cyclists in Cardiff now than 10yrs ago but it’s still very car dependent and far too easy to drive and park to make cycling truly appealing.

Hi Hilary, yes I did see lots of gaps while I was there, and for sure the gold-plating is an issue, if it slows down the network being expanded/delivered… Hamish Belding took me on a nice ride around the city and I saw some of the good, bad etc… great city though, Cardiff has a special place in my heart! And I’ll drop by next time I’m there, for sure

Hamish is amazing he does so much for Cardiff cycling especially all the bike buses. Hope to meet you at Pedal Power one day. Nice cafe as well which is always important when cycling ☕️
