'Build it and they will come'
Calls are mounting for a new cycle route running between Sherwood and West Bridgford. Cyclists say they "don't feel safe" travelling on Nottingham's roads which are typically very busy throughout each and every day.
Its plans state the route would ideally run from Sherwood, through Carrington, Mapperley Park, Forest Fields and along Mansfield Road, before continuing past Nottingham Railway Station, through the Meadows, past Meadow Lane, over Trent Bridge and into West Bridgford. One cyclist says the conditions on the existing infrastructure "are very hostile riding on your own north to south or vice versa".
The campaign to get the route established was pushed further towards the goal recently, when a group of cyclists traced the route from Sherwood, before ending at the Brian Clough statue. Simultaneously, riders also travelled from West Bridgford to the statue where they met in the middle.Samuel Shoesmith, 29, who took part in the ride, told Nottinghamshire Live: “As a lone rider, travelling along Mansfield Road is not nice and sometimes I don’t feel safe.
"We know cycling is good for everyone. It is good for the individual’s mental and physical health, for the environment, for your pocket, no rising fuel prices for cycling, and generally for society.
