Can you cycle or walk?
If you live in Cardiff, you may want to cycle or walk. Research shows that 52% of car trips made in the city are less than 5km - a distance that can be comfortably cycled in 20 minutes.
When the roads are congested this makes cycling an even more attractive option as travel by bicycle would be quicker than a car during rush hours or during big events.
