Cycle lanes seem to stir up all sorts of emotions. Cyclists, generally, tend to attract a wide spectrum of opinions, but say you're going to paint some lines and signs on the road and suggest that those on two wheels travel there instead, and quite often you'll find you've opened a hornet's nest.
The latest stage for a row between residents and cycle lane planners is in Penllergaer, and it's far from the first dispute in Swansea related to such proposals.
Over in Gorseinon Road, Penllergaer, some of the people living there have said they don't want the pavement widened and carriageway narrowed to create a new path for cyclists and pedestrians. Those with drives have said they are worried about colliding with passing cyclists when they pull out while others have bemoaned the loss of roadside parking when the new shared-use path is created.
