Considerations

How you view comfort can be made up of a number of characteristics. Examples of how people rate their comfort include:

  • safety from vehicles/speeding/traffic
  • personal safety and level of isolation
  • attractiveness of area you pass through
  • congestion on link, either from other people cycling or the need to share the space with other modes like people walking or people in cars, goods vehicles or buses
  • path surface quality
  • level of priority and assistance along the link and through junctions
  • are you happy to bring friends and family with you
