Worst possible provision: pavement cycleway where motor vehicles constantly cross or park on the footway.

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.

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!

The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout). This part of the Ring Road is an important cycling route, but poorly designed and often obstructed. Signs are confusing and ... [more]

East Road. Cyclists leaving the subway cycleway bypass round the Newmarket Rd roundabout have to stear around street furniture to the dropped kerb, around illegally parked cars - avoiding collision with cars coming from the roundabout.

Victoria Avenue Toucan Crossing 2. The poles on the Midsummer Common (East) side make for a very tight turn onto the shared pavement, often in the face of people coming the opposite way. Unsurprisingly, many people follow the path ta ... [more]

Why is cycling banned on this last section of the path alongside the railway in Bowes Park? Illogical and unhelpful.

Paddington Basin - if the surface wasn't loose chippings it'd be useful for cyclists.

The new Avon Way shared pathway is nice and wide but spoiled by the lack of priority over side roads which lead to a dead end. In this case it is a blind corner so progress is very much hampered.

The Chase is a busy cut through from Greenstead Road to St. Andrews Avenue and onto Greenstead. This is the view from it, looking across the busy St. Andrews Avenue. There needs to be a toucan here as it is a very well used crossing and cur ... [more]

Faced with a flooded underpass (see #20797 and #20798), students will climb the boggy slope to the right, and risk life and limb crossing the busy A133 (see #20799 and #20800).

Presumably this is a temporary "bridge" across the bog on Salary Brook, but it has been here for sometime. The missing and broken mesh bares testament to that. It is now a puncture hazard as the metal wires stick up in places.. better off r ... [more]

Where old meets new on the Salary Brook route. Although slightly wider, unfortunately, the new path is of very poor quality, hence it is uneven and already breaking up.

This unsigned shared pathway leads to St. Andrews Avenue where cyclists can join the route to Colchester North rail station and Town Centre. The tired old railings are not only ugly but also obstructive.

A sight common in the United Kingdom: not only is there no priority for the cycleway, but cyclists have to lose momentum and go out of their way to cross this B-road.

Cycleway beside the guided busway - but you'd fall off the edge of the platform if you did go this way.

Cycling on the guided busway itself is far smoother than on the maintenance track - they should get the track surfaced before the buses start running!
