"The council has always been committed to the promotion of cycling and has been working on plans to make it even easier for people to get around the city by bike.
"We’ll be working on one side of the road at a time and its hoped that delays will be manageable yet people might want to consider adding a few extra minutes on to their planned journeys and we thank everyone in advance for their patience whilst the improvements are made.”
