Cyclists are being offered the chance to have their say on planning cycle routes.<\/p>\n

Cardiff Council is asking cyclists for feedback on its Active Travel Network and draft mapping of existing cycle tracks.<\/p>\n

The feedback hopes to highlight ways to improve cycling facilities and future cycle routes as part of the Active Travel Act 2013.<\/p>\n

Gavin Lewis, a member of the Cardiff by Bike community, said: \u201cThe Act introduced design guidance and it has become apparent that not much of Cardiff\u2019s existing infrastructure is up to standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst Jenny Malone, creator of Cardiff Cyclist, said, \u201cIt is my understanding that cyclists here often feel unheard and under-valued as road users. We are really pleased that Cardiff Council want to amplify the voice of the cycling community and keen to see progress\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I hear time and again\u201d, said Mr Lewis, \u201cis that we don\u2019t have a good, quiet route to travel east\/west. Travelling to Pentwyn to Cardiff is on-road, as is Culverhouse Cross to Cardiff\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Malone said, “Particular routes that we would love to see improved include Crwys Road, a road very popular with cyclists. A number of cyclists (including myself) have been knocked off by speeding motorists in the last few months and there has even been a cyclist fatality this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
