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<p>\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<p>Ms Malone said, &#8220;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<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Alt.Cardiff-Original1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26955\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jomec.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Alt.Cardiff-Original1-480x220.jpg\" alt=\"The cycle track that runs through Bute Park is part of the Active Travel Network in Cardiff.\" width=\"480\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cycle track that runs through Bute Park is part of the Active Travel Network in Cardiff.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active travel network needs work but is open to improvement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13,51],"tags":[10161,10162,2084,1103,10163],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
