00:00 I think we should have more cycle lanes in Sheffield because cycling is so good.
00:04 It is good for the person who's doing it, for their soul, for their physical
00:08 well-being. It's really good for the environment. It's even good socially.
00:12 The number of people that you get to chat to as you're going along on the
00:15 bike. But it is dangerous if you're having to work within cars all the time.
00:20 So the cycle routes that we've got are lovely. They're so good. You can just get
00:24 around the back ways and yeah it's really good. And it would enable more people to
00:28 cycle to work with children and that would so much cut the amount of fumes
00:33 that we've got around schools at the moment. I think there's a lot of cycle
00:37 lanes already. Sometimes I go along the cycle lane and there's a large number of
00:42 cars in squeezed into one lane and me and somebody else on the cycle lane so
00:46 I can sort of see it from both sides. There could be more cycle lanes I think
00:49 on some of the particularly busy routes but again there's a danger then you're
00:53 squeezing the cars out.
