Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. In January, I organised in my constituency an event to encourage more people to take up everyday cycling, which was very well attended, and people had a chance to go for a short cycle ride from the Whitchurch rugby club, where we held the event, and it was very successful. We had representatives of Welsh Cycling to tell us about group social rides, which were very attractive, and rides for people who need to build up their cycling confidence. This event was held on the Taff trail, which obviously is fantastic for cycling, but many of the people there raised the issue of how they have to battle with the traffic to get to the Taff trail, and that is the point I want to raise with the Cabinet Secretary: how are we going to ensure that the cycle routes and the walking routes that are set up are linked up? I think that's one of the key issues.
