Assen at night at -2 C. Plenty of ice on the grass and the canal is completely frozen over, but the well lit cycle paths are completely free of ice as they always are right through the winter. More photos and a video of riding in these c ... [more]
Cycling across the Afsluitdijk. This is a sea defence 32 km long which separates the IJsselmeer from the North Sea and joins North Holland to Friesland. A very good quality cycle path is provided all the way along the dyke. You can see a ... [more]
Possible solution for Gilbert Road in Cambridge. Even those of us on the Assen trip who strongly dislike off-road cycleways liked this very much. It had a feel of an on-road path but had some segregation.
One of many small paths in an area of mixed heath and forest just a couple of minutes cycle from the city of Assen. Anyone can escape the city and get out into some greenery on their bikes with ease. While all these paths are well surfac ... [more]
Four metre wide cycle path past an industrial estate. Very wide and well used, even at the weekend. Note the racing cyclist coming in the opposite direction. People ride such bikes at speed on these paths quite freely because they are go ... [more]
There are many cycle routes in Kings Hedges. They are not all wide enough or smooth enough, but they score well for pervasiveness.
Lots of kids cycling home from school in Eindhoven. Decent quality cycle paths make this possible all over the Netherlands. Note also the patience of drivers. You can see more examples of children cycling in the Netherlands here: http ... [more]
Hugely improved cycle facilities in Recoleta, Buenos Aires - still virtually no parking, however.

A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. New cycleway between Sawston and Babraham.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This horse mounting block is the first hard evidence we've seen that this is a bridleway (and hence legitimately cyclable).
Stanborough Park looking west showing the contraflow cycle path along the park entrance slip road. This contraflow path is a crucial link in the Hatfield to Welwyn Garden City cycle path which also connects to Stanborough School.
Wide ramps on this bridge over Chippenham's bypass. A bike ride from Chippenham to Biddestone.
Wide ramps on this bridge over Chippenham's bypass. A bike ride from Chippenham to Biddestone.
This bridge over Chippenham's bypass has pleasing wide ramps and no annoying chicanes. A bike ride from Chippenham to Biddestone.
Cycle path from Hatfield to Colney Heath where it goes under the A1(M). Old but well made.
A bike ride from Chippenham to Calne. A splendid bridge with viewing platform over the River Avon.
A bike ride from Chippenham to Calne. Noble effort seems to have been made here to accommodate riding up this embankment to the old railway line. The wooden wall is pinned back and you can feel it straining.
A bike ride from Chippenham to Calne. Quite a steep and windy zig zag up to the old railway line.
Canal runway LED catseyes on canal towpath - see also #33213 & #34356 Location: Union Canal, Gorgie, Edinburgh
The new underpass at Bow interchange. brings you out on the right hand side of the canal.
A good example of permeability. Cars can't access Rickmansworth Road from here, but cyclists can access the bike lane.
The trip hazard that I've been trying to get removed for the past 2+ years has now been removed. Yay. Location: Blythe Hill, London (England, United Kingdom)
NCN route 1 crossing a traffic-free bridge - and cycle parking outside Norwich University College of the Arts.
Redway system crosses a residential road. There's some tired route signage here, and on the ground the very bottom fragment of a white give way triangle is visible.
From the left here the redway route crosses the road then turns left behind the car parking.
Clear(er than no lanes) lane markings when one needs to turn across Van Baerlestraat. This layout is used at similar crossings all over Amsterdam, and I assume it's designed to deter people from waiting perpendicular to the cycleway (and al ... [more]
At last! a year after Grange Road was resurfaced, the cycle lanes have been replaced.
LED cat's-eyes type lights on the Union Canal towpath in Edinburgh (see also #33213).
Cycleway NCN 6 very wide here - there even seems to be a passing place! I think this may also be the NCN67 too, but not sure.
Contemplating the final 5 miles into Sheffield (they were great and went quite quickly!)
Its OK to get off and walk for a bit - especially, if like this Cambridge cyclist, hills are a bit of a shock.
