What do you think of Sheffield and has the Tour of Britain changed perceptions?

Transcript

00:00So yeah I've come from South Manchester today to watch the stage for the Tour of Britain

00:05and it's a really nice arrival for the station, very welcoming and yeah Czechoslovakia has been

00:13really good. I haven't been for a little while but it's a great place and felt really welcome here.

00:20I think the event's really well set up. The tour buses that we got to see were really

00:26accessible and yeah it seems really friendly, great venue. I think it improves the profile

00:35of Sheffield but it's not just an industrial city anymore but it's a sport and cultural city

00:42and that it's very close to good cycling venues. Sheffield is a good base for keen cyclists,

00:49it does need more off-road cycle routes

00:53but it is very close to lots of very good cycling places. There are some good cycle routes around

01:00such as the Five Weirs Walk and the TransPennine Trail but it needs more of that cycling

01:06infrastructure and more like we've got around Callum Island where you've got off-road little

01:12cycle tourist paths.
