Lara has been riding bikes for longer than she'd care to admit, and writing about them nearly as long. Since 2009 she has been working as part of the road.cc review team whilst championing women's cycling on the side, most notably via two years as editor of the, sadly now defunct, UK's first and only women's cycling mag, erm, Women's Cycling.
Believing fervently that cycling will save the world, she wishes that more people would just ride a bike and be pleasant to each other.
She will ride anything with two wheels, occasionally likes to go fast, definitely likes to go far and is always up for a bit of exploring somewhere new and exciting.

Cynicism aside I prefer to see this as some sort of progress
This is probably useless unless quality is part of the requirement. And why "world first"? I think that is a meaningless claim, given that other countries have different structures of government and local government and who is responsible for the transport network.
Interesting.
"Routes" doesn't equal dedicated paths, necessarily, does it?
Anyone know what the Assembly's definition encompasses?
no-one will want to use them once they fill Wales with pylons, hubs and windfarms anyway.......
Another great triumph for WAG
Wow OldRigeback, I thought I was cynical! This seems like a very positive action to me.
But will it hen become a requirement for cyclists to use them? As we know, some cycling facilities are not fit for purpose.
