The number of people cycling weekly is on the rise, igniting various reactions from local residents concerning behaviour of cyclists on our roads.

Diego Cavanagh shared his personal experience, candidly saying: "Since getting banned I use my cycle daily along with trains, but the second I get my licence back I'll be back in my car, public transport sucks."

Others like Hazel Piggott are apprehensive about the increasing spate of cycling.

She remarked: "Scary, many, but not all, are so self-entitled as the law leans towards the cyclist.

"I only cycle on quiet lanes."

Meanwhile, several residents have criticized cyclists for disregarding traffic rules and regulations.

Debbie Giacomet complained: "Cyclists going way too fast.

"In some cases over the 20mph limit."

Paul BlueMoon Campbell echoed this sentiment, saying, "Seen them ride through traffic lights on red, down one way streets too not all of them are bad just a good fair few are."

Patrick Short called for local authorities to pay attention to the state of the roads, offering: "Mostly they don't use the roads, and to be honest I'm not sure I blame them, instead of wasting millions on a useless bin fiasco perhaps (the local authority) they could have had a go at potholes in the roads making roads safer for cyclists and pavements safer for pedestrians, just a thought."

Glyn Jones suggested cyclists need to adhere to traffic rules, while keeping their safety on the road, saying: "Cyclists need to use cycle paths, stop at red lights, keep to the 20mph, to use their bells and ride the proper directions on one way streets."

Christian Rich also chimed in, offering a solution for increasing number of cyclists: "I found it great, although I wish councils would open up an overtaking lane, its frustrating getting stuck behind all this traffic doing 20mph, only ones I don't need to overtake are the police cars, as they're generally doing over that."
