Pot hole directly in cycle path - remains unfixed despite complaints to council. Cyclists have to swerve into path of traffic to avoid.

#13152, nearby

What happens when there's not enough cycle parking: people park several spaces abreast, and bikes fall over. In this case, this is done to excess. And so bikes end up in the path of passing vehicles, with wheels being flattened.

The scene greeting visitors to Cambridge on their way from the railway station. An acute lack of secure cycle parking leads to bikes parked insecurely to the wooden railing, with the result of this vandalism. Eleven years later #37644 th ... [more]

This is where cars often park invading pavement and the mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout), forcing cyclist into the car lane. This bay was designed as a bus stop, not parking.

#10431, nearby

Even a double yellow line does not always stop motorists. This picture was taken one day two after Ian Greasley forwarded message to the "Local Authority Parking Enforcement" (LAPE) office at Cambridge City Council.

The infamous East Road layby - the new broken white line has helped but it was quickly worn away and infringements began again - now I see it's been repainted. Maybe it'll last longer this time!

Pram arms on the cycleway (note the cycle symbol on the ground and the directional signage in the distance.)

Pram arms on bollards, and then a fence. They really don't want you to get past here, and the graffiti says "Time to die".

#1069, nearby

Sign: "No Cars beyond this Point", and then there's a car there.

Hopeless wheelbender cycle parking! The front wheel was locked to the rack, but the rest of the bike has gone. Often a front wheel of another bike will have been purloined to make up a whole bike.
