@philinmerthyr gave a presentation on our group at the #ActiveTravelCPG chaired by @huw4ogmore today. The focus was removing barriers to cycling. It was brilliant to be able to share the work that we do. Our #inclusive#social activities and use of community bikes are free.
Weโve been working with @MerthyrCBC to help make our trails accessible in line with equality and active travel standards. I came over Cefn Viaduct this morning and the new barrier is brilliant. Much easier for pushchairs, wheelchairs and non standard bikes to use the Taff Trail.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of community sport. In Merthyr we have so many amazing people giving up their time day in, day out. Weโve had 5 amazing winners so far. Who will be next? Nominate someone now and give them the recognition they deserve! https://t.co/Tzcmi3xp8x

There are so many amazing people out there who give up their time to make sport happen in the community. So far weโve awarded Volunteer of the Month to 3 of them. If you know someone who deserves recognition then nominate them now - https://t.co/0oZEzzXkeV
Following our campaign to remove barriers that prohibit equal access across Merthyr a report to the Merthyr CBC Rights of Way Committee and a discussion at the 20th July committee meeting has resulted in a decision to remove barriers on the Taff, Trevithick and Celtic Trails.
We have 2 #inclusive#social rides this weekend.
Details in the attached photos
All rides start from the storage container behind Rhydycar. A free loan of a community bike and helmet is available to anyone without a bike who wants to join us.
Nominations for Volunteer of the Month are open until 15th July.
If you know someone who goes over and above to support sport or physical activity in the community nominate them now!

We are immensely grateful for the donation from Adrian. People across Merthyr are struggling with the cost of living crisis. If you have a bike you donโt need in good rideable condition please consider donating it and we will find a good home for it. #inclusive#social#cycling
