cycle is a key part of tackling the emissions that motor traffic release into the atmosphere. The nextbike scheme has been hugely popular in Cardiff and it is encouraging to see so many people using them to get around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstalling nextbikes in Penarth will provide people with a suitable alternative to the car and encourage people to use sustainable modes of transport. Giving residents in Penarth the option to cycle short journeys is a step in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Currently, the nearest nextbike stations to Penarth are&nbsp;Cardiff Bay barrage, Pont Y Werin, and the International Sports Village.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Concerns have been raised about where the bike stations will be in Penarth. Grareth Farr said on Twitter: &#8220;Electric bikes are good for people who maybe can&#8217;t push up Penarth hill &#8211; but please please please can the bike parks not be in much needed car parking spaces.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great news &#8211; love cycling and electic bikes good for people who maybe cant push up penarth hill -but please please please can the bike parks not be in much needed car parking spaces as these also needed by familys, elderly and customers for Our shops.<\/p>&mdash; Gareth Farr (@GarethFarr1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GarethFarr1\/status\/1192412307562913792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 7, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The Vale council has asked residents to suggest where the bike stations should be installed. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Councillor Peter King, Vale council cabinet member for neighbourhood services and transport, said: \u201cHaving declared a climate emergency earlier this year, it is imperative that as a council we continue to support active and sustainable methods of transport.
