| 35362 |  | I've copied this report from the Cambridge News about the reality of using the road here... Kate King Any improvement in road safety would be a start. I was cycling towards Fen Ditton from Horningsea at lunchtime today. I was nearly hit by an oncoming car overtaking two other cars at about 60 miles an hour. There is no hard shoulder, there was nowhere for me to go. If you are cycling at a reasonable speed there is no way that you can just cycle up a kerbside. There was no time to get off. I think the cars he was overtaking managed to make a little space ..at the last minute he moved over and he missed me by less than a yard. He would have killed me. If I had been a car he would have been dead, but if I had been a car he probably wouldn't have been driving on the wrong side of the road. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/Cycling-safety-campaign-inspired-by-Cambridge-University-graduate-fighting-for-life-03022012.htm | Other: Problem  |
| 35361 |  | NCN route 4 crick to caerwent - good use of verge to separate traffic from cycle path. Warning though lots of thorns from hedge cutting. | Cycleway: Good practice  |
| 35360 |  | The battle to eliminate wheel benders from Cambridge gets a massive punch in the face from this Boxing Club which has bodged some of the worst cycle racks in modern times against this Victorian era building. | Cycle parking: Problem  |
| 35359 |  | Space has been found for these well-used cycle racks adjacent to a doctors' surgery. See also #35358 | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35358 |  | Its great to see some proper cycle parking outside my doctor's surgery at last. Perhaps I can forgive him for driving an oversized performance car with a personalized number-plate now? Hmmm maybe not! | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35357 |  | Bike ready for loading at Tres Cruces bus terminal, Montevideo | Bicycle: Event  |
| 35356 |  | Young cyclist at road closure, Montevideo | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35354 |  | Loading bikes at Colonia bus station, Uruguay | Other: Event |
| 35353 |  | Bikes, scooters and golf carts at Thrifty car hire, Colonia, Uruguay | Bike shop: Good practice  |
| 35352 |  | Broken glass on otherwise useful route to the Retiro stations, Buenos Aires | Cycleway: Problem |
| 35351 |  | Hugely improved cycle facilities in Recoleta, Buenos Aires - still virtually no parking, however. | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35350 |  | Hugely improved cycle facilities in Recoleta, Buenos Aires - 'Get your free bike here' | Other: Good practice |
| 35349 |  | Hugely improved cycle facilities in Recoleta, Buenos Aires - map of 'network of protected cycleways' | Route sign: Good practice  |
| 35348 |  | Hugely improved cycle facilities in Recoleta, Buenos Aires - with map to the right, container for free bike rental to left | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35347 |  | Sunday cyclists (increasingly common) and bus in Buenos Aires | Road environment: Event  |
| 35346 |  | Silhouetted Sunday cyclists in Parque Lezama, Buenos Aires | Other: Event |
| 35345 |  | New shared-use path towards the Retiro stations, Buenos Aires | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35344 |  | Waiting to turn right into Purbeck Road from Hills Road, to get to the sixth form college. Road markings have disappeared and there's no central lane marking to help the hundreds of cyclists who need to make this maneouvre every day. | Road environment: Problem |
| 35343 |  | The excellent cycle parking outside this supermarket seems close to capacity. In contrast see this nearby supermarket: #35339 | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35342 |  | Turning right into Purbeck Road to access the cycle parking for Hills Road Vi form college. There's little in the way of road markings here, and those that are supposed to be present, such as the cycle lane in the foreground have all but disappeared. | Road environment: Problem |
| 35341 |  | The 'phone boxes outside this former telephone exchange seem battered, ignored, and redundant. There's a huge demand for cycle parking in this area, as these signs confirm. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35340 |  | This supermarket did not provide any cycle parking for customers, and nor did the city council enforce its own planning regulations that would have forced it to find a solution. Hence there is a bike leaning against the shop, not properly secured. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35339 |  | This newly opened supermarket does not seem to have provided any cycle parking for customers. In contrast see this nearby supermarket: #35343 | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35338 |  | Its good to see a cycling gap in this 'road closure'. But the gap on the far side of the road does not look official. | Roadworks: Good practice  |
| 35337 |  | Cambridges 'third' city centre cycle park - Emmanuel College railings. | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35336 |  | Innovative, attractive, prominent but probably insufficient! | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35334 |  | Beautiful towpath along Leeds-Liverpool canal along cycle route 67 | Cycleway: Misc |
| 35332 |  | Two-way cycleway on Branimirova street. Captures the infrastructure + new forms of urban development in Zagreb | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35331 |  | make London a cycle city! | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35330 |  | "Any Bike Found Chained to these Railings will be removed without notice and disposed of" 2 Hills Road, Encore Estates | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35329 |  | Narrow sidewalk leads to overflow pedestrians endangering cyclists. Previous to fencing in this area was relatively open car parking (Peugeot) which took some pressure from the sidewalk | Road environment: Problem |
| 35328 |  | Unsecured overflow college bike parking. Leads to crowded sidewalk. "The school should have space for all the bikes of the students" (Note the empty space behind the wooden fence) | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35327 |  | Bike Parking on Campus, insufficient spaces | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35326 |  | Bikes parked along Purbeck road, obstructing sidewalk, many badly secured, all avoiding or excluded from on campus bike parking | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35325 |  | From Purbeck Rd, access to on campus bike parking. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35324 |  | See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNxv2hY6it8 The entrance to this cycle path is very limited and requires great care when coming onto and off the road. I need to cycle into the middle of the road to be able to take the corner, even at slow speeds. The path is badly potted and always covered in water. | Road environment: Problem |
| 35322 |  | See video clip at http://youtu.be/nfXNnYM9Sow Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 As the Highway code picture shows, why isn't the driver all the way over the central line? There's no traffic on the other side, so there's absolutely no reason to be this close. Of course if there was traffic on the otherside you must NOT overtake! | Enforcement: Event  |
| 35321 |  | Cycle parking at the leisure park on a gloomy January day. | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35320 |  | Riders emerge from the central cycle lane off Hills Road bridge - away from the dangers of the left turning traffic. | Road environment: Good practice |
| 35319 |  | Lots of bikes cling to the balcony supports in this relatively new development. Clearly the cycle parking that was provided, (see nearby photos or e.g. #35319 and #35317) has been inadequate. It would have seemed easy in a new development to have anticipated this and provided for it properly. Instead we have a disappointing mess. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35318 |  | The sign on the lamp-post at the left suggests "Steal a bike!" in big letters. Its only if you go up and read the small print that it makes it clear this is some kind of iffy 'dare you' type crime reduction measure. | General sign/notice: Problem  |
| 35317 |  | Complicated wall mounted cycle racks in a ground level car park. Why ordinary Sheffield-style cycle parking couldn't be used here is beyond me. If you look carefully you'll notice that one of the racks in the middle of the photo has come away from the wall. It is not clear how the bikes can be locked to the rack or wall. Very poor and inexcusably bad - but on the other hand they are well used. But this is for bike storage rather than cycle parking. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35316 |  | Hills Road bridge central cycle lane for straight on cyclists. | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35315 |  | By counting the blockwork, which are usually 10x20 cm, I estimate these racks on this fairly recent development have been placed at only 50 cm spacing. This is not what is in the planning guidance and means that space is wasted here. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35313 |  | Using a modified gaming chair as a recumbent development workstation for CycleStreets. | Other: Event |
| 35312 |  | This supermarket was allowed to open on this site without providing any cycle parking. For years the building next door (out of shot to the right, but see #17250) has had NO CYCLE PARKING signs affixed to its railings. This is another blot on Cambridge city council who repeatedly fail to enforce their own cycle parking standards. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35311 |  | For display only (judging by how shiny everything is). | Bicycle: Misc |
| 35310 |  | Bike parking is needed outside Regents Studios on Andrews Road | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35309 |  | There are barely any bike stands at Kings Cross - this is crazy for such a major transport interchange. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35308 |  | The existing bike racks at Arsenal tube station are poorly designed, as they are too close together, so it is difficult to lock the bike to the rack as you can't stand beside the bike to do so. It is also nearly always full. If Islington council put some parking stands on the pavement near the station this could help congestion. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35307 |  | Bournes crescent good downhill practice | Other: Good practice |
| 35306 |  | A bicycle clings to a lamppost in a residential street where all the gardens seem to have become car parks. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35305 |  | I think I can count about 9 bikes on the upper decks in this housing development. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35304 |  | Call a Bike and StadtRAD 2011 price list for the bike sharing system of DB Rent GmbH | Bicycle: Infrastructure |
| 35302 |  | View of the Clock Tower in Leicester from TK Maxx. | Destination: Misc  |
| 35300 |  | Stupid Greenway barriers that should be banned Location: East Ham, London (England, United Kingdom) | Obstruction: Problem  |
| 35293 |  | Nutbrook cycle path. Photo pointing towards kirk hallam. | Other: Misc |
| 35290 |  | Riding past the long queue of traffic (which stretches round the distant corner most of the length of Jesus lane) for Park Street Car Park. | Congestion: Good practice  |
| 35288 |  | Cycle parking overflowing at the Fitzwilliam Museum. Its especially busy because its the last few days of the Vermeer's Women exhibition. The white sign on the A board is washed out by reflection of the sun, but it reports that 'Cycle thieves operate in this area'. Loads of big baskets. http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/ | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35287 |  | (This photo has been located by a CycleStreets editor by reference to the GoogleStreet view imagery.) | Bicycle: Misc |
| 35285 |  | The Outspoken team pose outside their offices - its a photo-shoot for their new website. http://www.outspokendelivery.co.uk/about-us/team | Other: Event |
| 35284 |  | Denmark road is one way. no right of way from ravenmere to caxton rd | General sign/notice: Problem |
| 35283 |  | Denmark road is one way. no right of way from ravenmere to caxton rd | General sign/notice: Problem |
| 35282 |  | Provide a suitable way for cyclists to get onto the busway cycle track. The bridleway just to the North is a death trap with a base of loose cinders intermixed with sharp wires and other rubbish, designed to give punctures. | Obstruction: Problem |
| 35281 |  | national route 76 round the forth has many challenging cunningly concealed steep climbs from the shore away from installations or closed off areas. This is an excellent cyclepath. | Other: Good practice |
| 35280 |  | View of the Royal Dockyard and the Forth bridges from NCR 76 Round the Forth cycle path | Other: Misc |
| 35278 |  | Lutterworth | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35277 |  | Lutterworth | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35276 |  | This is what the crossing of Upper Hanover Way at Leavygreave looked like BEFORE the tramway was put in. Not all is progress, unfortunately....you can see from Street View below what it looks like today. The photo is scanned and from about 1994. | Other: Misc |
| 35275 |  | Queen Elizabeth Hospital has NO cycle stands. I think it could use about 4 for the public and they should be where they are overlooked - perhaps covered - although no doubt the smokers who perpetuate that area would spill into it. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35274 |  | (Exact location unknown) Sign stating that bikes can be removed under Section 149 of the Highways Act 1980. Reproduced from http://twitpic.com/6nyn9j by @els76uk | General sign/notice: Infrastructure |
| 35273 |  | any number would be a start | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35272 |  | A CycleStreets.net birthday cake! | Other: Event |
| 35271 |  | Castle Street Hinckley, one-way and apparently 'NO CYCLING' according to this non-standard and hence probably invalid sign. | Road environment: Problem |
| 35270 |  | A bollard and railing at the end of this useful cut through. Although this 'walk' is marked as no-cycling research has uncovered the fact that Hinckley Borough Council has erected a number of no cycling signs without going through proper procedures. See #10620. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35269 |  | The blue plaque reads: Hinckley Civic Society In a house and chapel on this site Roman Catholic Priest Father Matthew Thomas Norton OP (1732-1800) re-founded the Dominican order in England after Henry VIII's Reformation. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. | Destination: Good practice |
| 35268 |  | DIY cargo bike parked in the West End | Bicycle: Good practice |
| 35267 |  | Two cycle parking stands and two lockers at Barrhead railway station (one stand is hidden by lamppost) | Cycle parking: Infrastructure |
| 35266 |  | Gate with gap at side for cycles on road up to Waukmill Reservoir | Road environment: Good practice |
| 35265 |  | Two bike seat testing setups with carrousel of six saddles each at Munderloh's bike shop in Oldenburg. See also #35264 | Bike shop: Good practice |
| 35264 |  | Seat tester with carrousel of six saddles each at Munderloh's bike shop in Oldenburg. See also #35265 | Bike shop: Good practice |
| 35263 |  | We were too muddy to go in Brown's! | Other: Event |
| 35262 |  | The surface here is OK for small wheelers like this Brompton, but gets slippy and rougher further along. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35261 |  | Although the sign says footpath it seems to have been upgraded to a bridleway, see #35260. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35260 |  | This farm track now seems to have been upgraded to a bridleway according to the notices pinned on the post, but not according to the visible signage in the area. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35259 |  | Overtaking a bit too close to the parked car, but mindful of the on-coming traffic. | Road environment: Event |
| 35258 |  | Safe and comfortable overtaking distance. | Road environment: Event |
| 35257 |  | Cycleway gives way to farm access road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35256 |  | Cycleway crosses road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35255 |  | Sawston end of the cycleway from Babraham. | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35254 |  | Sawston end of the cycleway from Babraham. | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35253 |  | Sorry about the picture quality but it was cold, wet and getting dark. At least it gives a flavour of the cycle path here. | Cycleway: Infrastructure |
| 35252 |  | Its getting dark, but these white dashes help to see the edge of the cycleway. | Cycleway: Good practice |
| 35251 |  | The worst kind of cycle parking, concrete wheel benders, two of which have been 'upgraded' with a wall anchor point. Grim. This is outside a nursery school. | Cycle parking: Problem |
| 35250 |  | Rather unusual one-way system in a residential area - but then again this is a private development. | Road environment: Infrastructure |
| 35249 |  | Babraham - the 'footpath' sign is the route to Abington, 1½ miles away. | Road environment: Infrastructure |
| 35248 |  | Covered cycle parking at a school. | Cycle parking: Good practice |
| 35247 |  | Babraham | Road environment: Infrastructure |
| 35246 |  | What a shame that a cyclist by pass was not created in this build-out. | Road environment: Problem |
| 35245 |  | A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. | Road environment: Infrastructure |
