These are the things that make Edinburgh cyclists feel unsafe on the roads

Pot holes, dangerous driving and narrow roads are just some of people’s concerns.

Edinburgh is home to a lot of interesting cycling routes including off-street paths and disused railway lines.

However, not everyone who cycles as a part of their everyday commute feels safe doing so.

We spoke to Edinburgh cyclists about whether they feel like they are safe when riding their bikes on the road.

While some people we spoke to said they felt safe, pot holes, narrow roads and a lack of cycle lanes were all issues raised by local residents which made them feel less comfortable when biking round the city.
