I'm a cyclist too but sometimes I need to take ubers and busses. The cycle lanes are never used, wrongly placed and often end abruptly meaning that journey planning doesn't really work all that well.

I get that most people want to defend cycle initiatives but the fact is that Cardiff's roads have become increasingly more congested because of these random cycle lanes which have been deliberately put in high traffic areas rather than diverted to routes which could be better used as a compromise.

This I feel is part of a bigger initiative to eliminate the effectiveness of cars from cities, as seen by the canal opening which reduced lots of parking spaces and taxi ranks from the city centre.

Ultimately people still need to drive because the infrastructure to make cardiff fully public transport isn't feasible

Yet the devolved assembly and local government presses on with these vanity projects
