Thank you for that response. The First Minister might be interested to know that when I was out running in Neath recently I was almost pushed into a canal by a cyclist who was travelling too fast on the same path that I was using. My question, therefore, is: given that there is this separation between cyclists and pedestrians, I’ve had people in the Mumbles area, who go there often, where there are cyclists who don’t take account of those people who are walking—you know, on a Sunday, there are many people there—. How, then, can they be sensitive to what’s happening around them, rather than just trying to cycle as fast as they would on a mountain, for example? So, what can you do in terms of education to ensure that everyone can share the same environment comfortably?
