00:00I still think it's quite dangerous. I think it still puts people off cycling on the streets.
00:04There seems to be an animosity between cyclists and drivers and so I still think a lot could be
00:12done to make it safer for cyclists and some understanding between drivers and cyclists.
00:19What would you like to see done for cyclists?
00:22Better cycling ways.
00:29Mainly that would be it. The council could make it a lot safer for cyclists in Sheffield
00:35and I think it's the way to go. I don't think there's any way back to having lots and lots
00:40of cars around. So promoting cycling, getting people out on the bikes is always a better option.
00:48It's definitely getting better. There's definitely more routes going in
00:51and it's starting to feel a bit more joined up than it was. There's still work to be done,
00:54especially on the outskirts and getting into the Peak District, but it's definitely improving.
01:02Certainly coming in from the Peak District on the main roads, sometimes the traffic's pretty hairy
01:07and the junctions can be quite a worry, so some work needs to be done on that for sure.
01:12But I tend to try and stay on the smaller roads and just stay out of the way of the traffic.
