The negotiation process exposes a wider access issue – that just one-fifth of all rights of way in Wales are open to cyclists. In 2019, as part of a consortium of outdoor groups, Cycling UK extracted a bold and ambitious commitment from the Welsh government to widen off-road access rights and relax existing restrictions on open access land, not just for cyclists. Since then, the Senedd in Cardiff has been entirely silent on the matter and we are still waiting for legislation. Perhaps large numbers of cyclists riding the Traws Eryri will help bring about the change.
