When we lived in Castlefields the walk was brilliant. When we moved further out I cycled everywhere however traffic puts me off the thought of cycling into town now. Mum just had to use transport to get in. Eventually she moved to banking at Harlescott and shopping online. - ThreadSky

I think this sums it up for a lot of people. Myself included. We just don't feel safe enough to cycle relatively short distances. Maybe that is where money should be going, into making these routes safer.

Underdale into Castlefields is quite a good route, but hasn't been maintained very well and isn't easy to cycle well now.

Drivers just don't care. I used to cycle from Wellington past the Beet factory to Upton Magna with primary school son then onto Shirehall. From Atcham across Emstrey Island was scary and I am a brave but careful cyclist.

I used to do the morning paper round down London road to Atcham as a kid, prior to Emstrey roundabout. Looking back now that was the A5, what were my mum and dad thinking!

Scary Matt. I used to nip out of Priory Girls on my bike and cycle to Yockleton to get my horse shod when I was in 6th form I wouldn't do it now.
