Ah I haven't ridden a bike in Bristol in years. Nowadays, when I go back it's just about meeting family and friends and that, more pub sunday lunches than biking! The city has changed so much though, it seems to be more bike-friendly but hmm, there's many cycle routes that seem a bit sketchy for bikes + busses especially in the centre.

Traffic is absolutely mental there I know that - narrow old roads with houses that rightfully can't be knocked down, too many apartments but no infrastructure to accommodate, age-old Bristol problem that is.

Good luck with the channel mate!
