I used to work in the cafe at Coate Water for a while as a teenager, and used that path to get there from home in West Swindon. It's brilliant. You can get right across the southern side of Swindon in 15 or 20 mins. Glad to hear it's still there, with all the development that's taking place that way now.

Used to love cycling from my house in Toothill to my cousins place in Lawn when i was a kid. Great path from there past the old hospital and brings you out in old town opposite the lawns. Only had to cross 2 roads. Must admit I have not taken that path in full for around 18 years now and will have to do it again.
Lovely walk that, I often take my dogs down there. The only problem now is the eyesore that is Wichelstowe being built.

Used to ride from Park South to Dorcan.
Don't remember the name of the estates now, but the cycle path goes past the Crumpled Horn?
I often had arguments with mothers taking their kids to school about using the cycle path. One would think the term 'cycle path' was quite self explanatory.

Her's hoping something decent happens then....shame that the old canal link was ruled out, as that could have been quality. I once walked it, although much of it is a trespass. The line is basically intact, the sole serious obstacle to the walk being where the Studley landfill site, had chopped away a scrub filled chunk, necessitating a traverse along a mesh fence left hanging, high and dry, Indiana Jones style

I also cycle to work. Croft trails track has been extended recently. Some decent technical bits and it's about 5.5km long now. Me and a few mates go down a do a couple of laps every saturday. Great fun.

I do this every day, it's not far, couple of miles tops. Although, I tend to cut through Eldene and under Dorcan Way and down dog shit alley by Dorcan School.

The valve on my inner tube is leaking and making my tyre flat, is this an easy fix or does it require a new inner tube?

Replace - buy a big box of 5 or so from Halfords.

Don't get the ones that claim to be self fixing as they normally aren't. If they puncture repair if small if not replace. Valve trouble is usually game over.
