Going uphill on Dale road as a cyclist, it is disturbing when the cycle lane disappears on the steepest part, on a corner which motorists cut and can not see round well. Extension of cycle lane definitely needed.

I completely support this and consider Dale Road to be extremely dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.

I ride a scooter to work and the bad surface of the road effects me the same as cyclists. It does need to be improved

I responded to a City Council survey a month or so ago and mentioned how bad this road is. I cycle it every day in trepidation.

I have cycled up and down that road many times and feel the biggest danger is cars pulling up to the curb at the bottom of the hill. Cyclists do not have power assisted brakes which many car drivers fail to realise.

I walk up and down Dale Road usually four times a day. The current road layout is very dangerous, both for pedestrians and for cyclists. Particularly dangerous is the mini-roundabout at the bottom. This is particularly dangerous for cyclists who will inevitably approach it at speed, and I have witnessed quite a number of incidents at this location. The narrow paving near swinging buses is dangerous for pedestrians. The paving area is often impeded by unmaintained shrubbery

Appalling road surface - manifestly unsafe

I too am a student nurse who cycles everyday to the hospital for placement. I have recently been pushing my bike down dale road for fear of getting a puncture at speed and having a nasty accident. Crossing at the top is also hazardous because of the speed of the cars who are unaware of cyclists.

This road has been dangerous for years due to condition of it.

Other parts of the city are also appalling and unsafe to cycle.
