IT'S ironic that the most successful British Olympic cyclist lives in a town with such dreadful cycling provision.

It's a town surrounded by some of the most spectacular cycling countryside in the whole UK and hills to cycle up and down that are as challenging as anywhere you'll find but those features were not introduced by the council.

If you try to cycle into the town centre from pretty much any direction, you will find there is either no provision or in some places downright dangerous provision for commuting by bike.

If the council is serious in wanting to honour Jason Kenny's amazing achievements — let's make the town somewhere that people can ride a bike.

Create a Jason Kenny cycling scheme, a broad cycle path and cycle lane creation and improvement scheme that takes a "whole town" approach designing routes with a cyclist in mind rather than short sections of cycle path drawn on roads as a traffic calming measure.

That would be a lasting legacy that actually made a difference.
