“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

Hailey Park / Taff Trail works

It’s safe to say that the disruption to walking and cycling in Hailey Park while the Taff Trail improvement works are carried out is causing problems for park users.

Works are due to continue for approx 12 weeks.

HAILEY PARK - TAFF TRAIL DIVERSION

Heads 🆙

A diversion to the #TaffTrail has been implemented in Hailey Park, Llandaff North.

We’re guessing that it’s @cardiff_council contractors starting work on the cycling and walking route through the park.

We told the council that they should make this junction Active-Travel-friendly. They told us it would be too disruptive for all of the motorists. Seriously.

TREK BATH IS THE BEST BIKE SHOP IN THE WORLD. Claire recognised my bike on the way in to work and said “that’s not meant to be there” and TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP!! They called me and refused any sort of finders fee. I do not deserve people like this.

"If a cyclist makes a mistake, he dies. If a car makes a mistake, he also dies."

This Dan Donahue video is so good. I love his point that a lot of cyclist hate comes from drivers being mad they have to drive everywhere. I don't think that's the reason for *all* the hate, but it's a factor!

I don't know how everyone in NYC doesn't go to 'Summer Streets.' (This Saturday.) Last year we protested for Congestion Pricing at one and couldn't even stay mad at Hochul, even @brooklynspoke.bsky.social.
