Local cycling news
The ban on cycling on Cardiff's busiest shopping street is being lifted, except between 10am and 4pm. This makes the 500 odd cyclists who use it anyway on a daily basis law abiding citizens again - for an eighteen month trial period at least. So my younger sister is no longer a hardened criminal, which is good news.
The reopening of Queen Street will provide a quicker route to work for many and hopefully encourage riders who would prefer to share space with pedestrians than cars.
The ongoing argument between whether cyclists belong next to cars or peds won't be solved here, but it's nice to see that Cardiff Council is thinking of cyclists at all. Hopefully local riders will repay the favour and not use the space as a daily drag spot.
