Introduction 1.1 Background 1.2 Carmarthenshire Cycling is growing in popularity. Since 2007 the amount of vehicle miles travelled by bicycle in Located in West Wales, Carmarthenshire is the third largest county in Wales, covering some the UK has increased annually. 19% more vehicle miles were cycled in 2011 than in 2007. Cycle 2,365e squar kilometres. With a population of 183,800 and a density of 0.8 (2011 census), the ownership in Wales has grown over the last 10 years. An estimated 46% of households in county is listed as the 4th highest populated in Wales. Wales now own a bike1. The county has 3,487 kilometres of road network and over 80 miles of coastline. In 2014 the An example of this national trend is that Transport for London predicts that if current rates of County attracted over 3.1 million visitors, generating over £340 million for the local economy. growth continue there will be more bicycles entering the City Of London than cars in the next few years. The number of rush hour car drivers fell from 137,000 in 2000 to 64,000 in 2014, The county has good connectivity with regional and national links across Wales by road, rail while the number of cyclists trebled from 12,000 to 36,000 over the same period2. and sea (Figure 1.1). In Wales, the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 means that Local Authorities are legally bound to plan and provide a comprehensive network of routes so that walking and cycling become the most desirable ways to get around for everyday journeys. This will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of journeys undertaken by foot and bicycle. Carmarthenshire County Council has been proactive in supporting and developing walking and cycling over recent years complying and promoting the principles of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. However, a step change is required to achieve the aspiration of making Carmarthenshire the number one destination for cycling in Wales. This cycling strategy sets out an ambitious programme to achieve the vision of making: ‘Carmarthenshire: The Cycling Hub of Wales’ IO CYM EIC RU B S T N E Y L A W B W Figure 1.1 - Connectivity Map L F O N O A C B U 1 Welsh Transport Statistics 2010 H T H G 2 Source: www.autoevolution.com/news/london-car-traffic-halved-over-the-course-of-the-last-15-years-bicycles-trebled- E CYCLIN 104340.html (Date Accessed: January 2016) 4 Carmarthenshire: The Cycling Hub of Wales | Cycling Strategy JANUARY 2018 Opportunities There are huge opportunities for local authorities who want to invest in and promote cycling. One of the greatest opportunities in growing cycling exists amongst the young. Enabling every child in Carmarthenshire to learn to ride a bike will help develop active travel habits that will Cycle event hosting could provide an opportunity to highlight Carmarthenshire on a national continue into adulthood and ensure future generations make more sustainable journey and international scale as well as assist in growing tourism. For example, for three days in July choices. This will also aid in addressing the issue of obesity which is often linked to inactivity, 2014, 4.8 million people turned out in Yorkshire to watch the Tour De France. It is estimated by entrenching positive active travel habits from an early age. Investment now in the tools that 40% of spectators were visitors from outside the area, spending approximately £128 needed to develop cycling amongst young people could reap benefits for the future within 3 million. 3.5 billion people in 188 different countries watch the Tour every year . Carmarthenshire. It has been reported that Cumbria received a £4.1m economic boost though holding Stage Two of The Tour of Britain cycle race in September 20134, with Monmouthshire County Council reporting a 12:1 return on investment for every pound spent at the Tour of Britain and the National Road Race Championship5. The recent 2015 Welsh Velothon sold out, with 18,000 cyclists each paying £70 to enter. Cycle tourism presents another opportunity, with many areas of the UK targeting the cycle market with niche products to attract visitors. There are already ten accommodation providers listed with ‘Holidays by Cycle’ in the county of Carmarthenshire7. However, there is room to grow and expand this greatly through investment and development of the necessary infrastructure to encourage new businesses to start up and offer a cycle tourism product. Carmarthen has made significant investment in Active travel infrastructure. In recent years CCC has invested more through the Welsh Government Local Transport Fund than any other Welsh authority. This investment has been used to develop infrastructure that: • Creates modal sift away from the private motor vehicle; • Creates networks that link key origin and destination (trip attractors) in order to provide sustainable access to employment, healthcare and leisure activities, and; • Promotes increased Active Travel IO CYM EIC RU B S T N E Y L A 3.

  • UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021
    Round # 1 – UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021 GENERAL INFORMATION Newport is a vibrant, multi-cultural city steeped in a rich industrial heritage, where traditional industries sit alongside new electronics and financial service sectors. At the gateway of Wales, surrounded by stunning scenery and a growing international profile Newport may surprise you. Newport’s history dates back to a Celtic settlement 2000 years ago and the city's location at the mouth of the River Usk has attracted visitors for centuries. Caerleon, just a few miles from Newport, was also the site of a fortress of the 2nd (Augustan) Roman legion from the first century AD. The Normans settled in Newport and built a castle beside the river Usk in the 14th century, the remains of which you can see today. The discovery of the remains of a sea-going vessel in 2002 gives evidence of Newport as a centre of industry and trade in the medieval period. During the 19th century industrial revolution Newport expanded rapidly from a small seaport town to one of the most important places in the country for coal export and steel production and the town became known for its accessible modern docks. Newport is also home to the Newport Transporter Bridge, one of around 10 that remain is use throughout the world and one of only two operational transporter bridges in the UK. Global leaders in technology, manufacturing, distribution, financial services and public sector organisations are attracted to the city’s superb location. Over 2.69 million people visit the city annually and events are a key part of Newport having successfully delivered large global events including the Ryder Cup in 2010 and NATO summit in 2014.

    This response is dedicated to the memory of Mike Hall 1981-2017 Winner: World Cycle Race Trans American Bicycle Race Tour Divide Resident of Abbeycwmhir “Bikes are brilliant and the countryside is for everyone” Introduction: In 2016, the Welsh Government published a consultation on improving opportunities to access the outdoors for responsible recreation. Cycling UK, in conjunction with OpenMTB, British Cycling and Welsh Cycling, issued a joint response to this, and through our Trails For Wales campaign led to more than 4,000 supporters joining our call for improved access for off-road cyclists. On 21st June 2017, the Welsh Government launched a further consultation, titled “Taking Forward Wales’ Sustainable Management of Natural Resources” which requested feedback on a number of specific proposals relevant to the revision of countryside access legislation. Our response to this is below. This response is the collective view of two organisations: Open MTB: A group of volunteers representing more than forty UK mountain bike clubs and advocacy organisations across the UK Cycling UK: Formally known as CTC, the national cycling charity, with 65,000 members, it is our stated aim to be the natural home for both road and off-road cyclists In formation of our response, we have elected to answer only questions which we regard as being directly relevant to Cycling UK’s charitable objectives, namely: • To promote community participation in healthy recreation by promoting the amateur sport of cycling, cycle touring and associated amateur sports; • To preserve and protect the health and safety of the public by encouraging and facilitating cycling and the safety of cyclists; • To advance education by whatever means the trustees think fit, including the provision of cycling, training and educational activities related to cycling; • To promote the conservation and protection of the environment.
