Nextbike survey results

Do we want nextbikes?

---

We recently held a survey asking residents what they thought about Cardiff Council's plans to install a nextbike stand on Station Road.

Here are the results....

​Nearly 70% of you would use a nextbike:

---

Most of you would use a nextbike to travel to and from town, along the Taff Trail. Some of you would head north along the trail:

---

Radyr Station is seen as the best location for a nextbike stand, narrowly beating Station Road:

---

Even so, there doesn't seem to be any strong objection to locating the stand on Station Road - although your responses to Cardiff Council's proposals were mixed.

​Detailed questions about the proposal led to:

• 51% saying Station Road is the right location...
• ...but 48% agreeing that the climb from the Taff Trail is too steep, so the nextbike stand should be at Radyr Station (but then 60% of you agreed that it would be very convenient to be able to cycle to Station Road!)
• 59% of you disagreed with the statement that the nextbikes would be an eyesore on Station Road
• 46% of you disagreed with the statement that the nextbikes would block the pavement at Station Road:

---

At the end of the day, almost 87% of you think we should have a nextbikes stand in Radyr:

---

And if we were to be given a second nextbike stand, the most popular choice for that, by a narrow margin, would be somewhere in Morganstown (which 53% of you think should have a nextbikes stand):

Headline Results

So the headlines from the survey are:

• yes, we definitely want a nextbikes stand
• Radyr Station would be the favoured location, but only just
• there would be no strong objections, however, to locating the stand on Station Road
• if there is to be a second stand, it should be in Morganstown.

We hope that you enjoyed taking part in our survey. We think it's a great way for us to engage with the community - and to find out what you think.

We will be conducting more surveys - so please look out from them. The more who take part, the easier it will be for us to be sure that we are accurately representing the community's views.

Thanks again to those who took part in this survey!
