Hi all,
I live in North Bristol and regularly cycle to work on the outskirts of Bristol.
I'm currently considering a job change to a position which is in the Centre of Bristol.
My first thought was about the lines of cars queuing down the M32 - yuk.
My second thought was that I could make use of the Bristol-Bath path and could keep up the cycling.
My third thought was about some not-so-great stories I've heard, often nearer the centre, and what if I were commuting late one night, or how safe I'd be carrying a laptop. I'm not the quickest of cyclists so perhaps that would make me more of a target?
Google searches reveal details of incidents, but with the police/council insisting that 2 million people use it per year and that this represents a handful of cases (but they probably would say that!).
What are people's thoughts and experiences? Honest thoughts welcome.
Thanks,
MG
