When the roads are congested this makes cycling an even more attractive option as travel by bicycle would be quicker than a car during rush hours or during big events.

Gwyddom hefyd yr hoffai 28% o drigolion Caerdydd nad ydyn nhw’n seiclo ar hyn o bryd roi cynnig arni.

Pan fo tagfeydd ar y ffyrdd, mae hyn yn gwneud beicio yn ddewis mwy atyniadol fyth oherwydd byddai teithio ar feic yn gynt nag yn y car yn ystod oriau brig neu ddigwyddiadau mawr.
