However, Billie Turner, 41, a keen cyclist who said she often used a cargo bike with her two children seated behind her, said the new roundabout was “perfect for cyclists”.
“I feel very safe going round here. It’s not too fast and all the cars stopped for me. I’m really pleased it’s open.”
Meanwhile, Peter Holt, 44, who regularly commutes to work via bike, said he hoped the development was “the start of better cycling infrastructure” in Sheffield.
“It’s all part of a jigsaw. It can’t just be this, we need a larger network”, he said.
“It should be welcomed, though, because it shows our council and hopefully other councils this is the way to do it.”
