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.
These parasol type hanging 'designer' cycle parking, known as 'meathooks', were so unpopular they were replaced after only a few months.
Opportunistic cyclists use the skip as a temporary place to park while visiting the pub opposite.
Inadequate cycle parking at Tesco, Newmarket Road. Note: There is a fundamental problem with the design of these particular 'toastracks'. The rails on the toast-rack are spaced such that one of the bike wheels has to 'sit' on the top of ... [more]
This is an area of high levels of cycle theft. Yet not a single cycle parking stand is available, despite literally hundreds of insecure bikes being left against walls. Car parking on the opposite site of the road should be selectively remo ... [more]
Nowhere to park bikes here (officially), but such an obvious need, and there\'s plenty of space.
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.
I don't think I've ever seen such pressure on cycle parking space in Cambridge - the Grand Arcade cycle park was virtually full too.
These bike racks are designed to accept bike from both directions, and so should not have been installed in this location against a wall. Simple sheffield style stands would have been better here.
The new housing on Orchard Park has brick sheds like this one dotted about that is intended for cycle parking. Good, but on opening the (unsecured) doors it is extremely disappointing to find flimsy wheelbenders that provide no security for ... [more]
Good question: who is blocking the pavement here? Is it the cars, for whom part of the pavement has been officially allocated as parking, or the bike where there is no officially created secure cycle parking in this street.
There's a highly-regarded cycle park at Finsbury Park for those with a swipe-card - but unfortunately there are no stands outside for more casual users.
New Cambridge Centre for Sixth-Form Studies building - a few nice stands, but that really won't be enough!
Count of cycles at Cambridge station done on 30th June 2010. Click on the figures to see the full-size version.
Bike locked to a bin; a common sight in central Cambridge - showing lack of cycle parking where people want to park their bikes.
The "No Cycles Please" written with a black felt marker pen is a depressing development on the bleak secure cycle parking landscape of Thoday Street. Later on that day I saw a bike parked to the same post. The request not to have bikes par ... [more]
Grand Newcastle central station - sadly no formal cycle parking this side of the ticketting barriers. Want good bike parking - get a train ticket ;o) Unacceptable for a major transporation hub (train, metro, bus) in the city centre ... [more]
When they decided not to install cycle parking at the new entrance to the Botanic Gardens they must have known people would clutter the area outside rather than park at the former entrance.
Cycles propped against the wall of Pembroke College. This isn't secure, and the pavement is narrower than the idea.
Cycle parking here narrows the cycle path in a busy area. More cycle racks needed on Parker's Piece.
Showing the inadequacy of the Crouch St. "improvement scheme". Had the four Sheffield stands (see #18049) been replaced (and increased) outside Tesco, all of these bikes would be locked to something.
Since the removal of Sheffield stands and secure lockers (see #17778 and #22606) at Colchester Town station, cyclists are left to use railings. The notice on the railing states: "Private property No parking of cycles"
Someone has chained a barrier to these racks, making them hard to use with a full-size bike.
The remnants of Sheffield stands (see #17778 and #22196) at Colchester Town station can be seen through hoarding (see #22605) for the new Magistrates Court. Temporary/"semi-permanent" cycle parking yet to be installed. Until then cyclist ... [more]
The hoarding for the new Magistrates Court has now enveloped the area where cycle parking at Colchester Town station once was (see #17778 and #22196). The remnants are visible through the gap (see #22606). Temporary/"semi-permanent" cycl ... [more]
