These lead button sutures look rather bike-like, and were developed by Lister to hold together deep wounds. The exhibition takes place in what was once the public record office and has stunning stained-glass windows with references to the master of the rolls.		Destination:

35362Photo #35362I'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.

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:

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:
