@philinmerthyr gave a presentation on our group at the #ActiveTravelCPG chaired by @huw4ogmore today. The focus was removing barriers to cycling. It was brilliant to be able to share the work that we do. Our #inclusive #social activities and use of community bikes are free. – at Wales, United Kingdom

We’ve been working with @MerthyrCBC to help make our trails accessible in line with equality and active travel standards. I came over Cefn Viaduct this morning and the new barrier is brilliant. Much easier for pushchairs, wheelchairs and non standard bikes to use the Taff Trail.

Following our campaign to remove barriers that prohibit equal access across Merthyr a report to the Merthyr CBC Rights of Way Committee and a discussion at the 20th July committee meeting has resulted in a decision to remove barriers on the Taff, Trevithick and Celtic Trails.

We are immensely grateful for the donation from Adrian. People across Merthyr are struggling with the cost of living crisis. If you have a bike you don’t need in good rideable condition please consider donating it and we will find a good home for it. #inclusive #social #cycling – at Wales, United Kingdom

The children's cycle area is free to use.
It's a bit wet windy but why not pop down and try it out!
Mae'r clo bellach i ffwrdd ac mae'r man beicio i blant yn rhad ac am ddim i'w ddefnyddio.

Now is the perfect time to get out on your bike. We have inclusive, social group rides, can arrange other times to support you to ride or if your abilities are better suited to our trikes we can also arrange that.

Unfortunately due to staff illness we are unable to light the track at @AfontafHigh tonight.
The track is still open though and the building side lights will still be on to light the top half.
Apolgies for any inconvenience.

The John Sellwood track at @AfontafHigh will be lit tonight between 5-7.30pm so come and make use of the open space.
Whilst the weather is becoming milder, users are advised to still be cautious of the surface underfoot.
