Motorbike
Having lived in Bristol for the past 6 years, motorbike or bicycle is the only way to effectively travel through or around Brizzle however, given the Cardiff - Bristol traverse, Motorbike all the way or train then cycle.
Motorbike:
Pros: Low running costs, Low(er) bridge toll, Fast
Cons: Bridge is an absolute deathtrap on a bike when crossed in conjunction with rain, snow, lorries or even a light breeze.
Bicycle:
Pros: Fitness, Cost, Bristol is extremely cycle centric now that Mayor of red trousers has his way
Cons: Fitness, busses and van drivers will still run you over even if you are lit up like a baboons arse.Comment

Hey if I get a motorbike we could set up our own Motorbike Gang. Sons Of Anarchy style. I can picture the Harley's steaming over the Severn Bridge with Hendrix blaring now.Comment
