safe cycling

Over the Lockdown myself and my family have been able to use the roads more as they were so quiet, we started to enjoy cycling together, we didn't have to worry about vehicles and felt a lot safer. As result I have been able to teach my son how to ride on the roads safely using hand signals, being more aware of his position on the road and looking out for approaching traffic, he feels much more confident and happy to ride on the roads around Helston. The Lockdown has made me realise how much we fall into lazy habits and I myself no longer use the car for short local trips, in fact I refuse to get in the car if I can cycle instead. I understand we cant all make these changes but if more of the local community used their car less we would all be contributing to less pollution and a safer environment for everyone. So with this in mind I would love to see a better cycling network around Helston and Cornwall so we can all (cars, buses, vans and bikes) use and enjoy the roads safely together.
