Dangerous railings in a Dutch town. This is Oosterwolde in Friesland, an example of the "shared space" ideas of Hans Monderman. There are plenty of signs, railings like I've seen nowhere else over here, and more cars than usual for the N ... [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.
Dropped kerb and proper surfacing into Tesco needed, to serve this obvious cut-through. What actually happened was that a big fence was put in instead... see #12581.
I'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 ... [more]
The new entrance on the west side of Kings Cross station - in the Netherlands this area would be full of cycle parking, but in Britain it'll doubtless remain a barren plaza.
This photo shows the footbridge at Cambridge Railway Station, which is still under construction. See also #35032.
Junction of Hanover Way cycle path (Ring Route) with Peak Park Anniversary route. The angles at this junction are way too sharp: cycles don't turn on a pin. As a result cyclists tend to continue on the footway to Broomspring Lane. Also pede ... [more]
Here the cycleway crosses the footpath - a bodge pending further development in the area. The footpath side is poorly maintained leading to peds encroaching on the cycleway.
Approach to subway from Ecclesall Rd (Moore St roundabout) The corner is blind is there is a high risk of a collision with either a pedestrian or another cyclist.
The sloped access here for bikes, wheelchairs, buggies etc having been removed (see www.cyclestreets.net/location/31605/), it has now replaced really badly. This right outside the Guildhall in Cambridge, supposedly one of Britain's most pro ... [more]
Bile Hub app and CycleStreets featured in London Transport Museum's 'Sense and the city' exhibition
Poor access to the bridge across the Canal Saint-Martin at the Parc de la Villette, Paris.
Police and/or LAPE left the half overranking taxi and two more overranking taxis arrive.
Lots of parking provided for the benefit of teachers at the school on the right. Easy walking/cycling distance for most of them.
This narrow footpath connects to a cycle lane at the far end (by the roundabout on the Rickmansworth Road). Cyclists often use this path in order to avoid the busy Rickmansworth Road and the large roundabout. In order to avoid conflict with ... [more]
This is the reaction I had today from the operator of this lorry when I took this photo of him while he was transferring pallets of bricks over the cycle path. The pallets were being lifted off one end of the lorry or trailer and being swun ... [more]
Why does cycling have to be 'something different'? And why the need for helmets in a 'safe' environment?
Staff cars, Ffairfach school - less than a mile from Llandeilo town. What hope is there of pupils travelling sustainably if this is the example they're shown?
Stow Court, Stow cum Quy - new offices with plenty of car parking and just a small cycle shed hidden at the rear, supposedly for staff use.
Do people still build paths this narrow? New path in Richmond Park, Glasgow, that could easily have been made suitable for cycling.
The coloured road marking is substantially wearing away in the right-hand cycle turning for the cycle route towards Simon Langton Boys School. Reported to Kent Highway Services on 2011-03-25 via www.kent.gov.uk/khsfaults. Fault ref 26077 ... [more]
Tenby leisure centre - far enough from the town centre to b worth cycling, but there's no cycle parking at all.
Blue Lagoon aquapark - lots of car parking, disabled parking, coach drop off, but no sign of ant cycle parking.
Lots of road space removed, nothing done with it - how about cycle parking? boris bikes? benches? plants?
Why can't Woburn Walk be opened to cycling? At the least, it'd be easy to put in some cycle parking.
Two, possibly three fairground rides (you can argue about the bungee one) when there should only be one with Cambridge on Ice. NB: I've been asked to make clear that this issue was subsequently resolved and two rides removed.
Ian Aitken (Chief Executive of Cycling Scotland talking about the Cycling Action Plan for Scotland
Woman mugged by knife carrying bike thugs http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/Woman-mugged-by-knife-carrying-bike-thugs.htm
Purporting as "Cycling Safety" this is a video made of a laptop showing a page that has been removed from the official Department for Transport's "Tales of the Road" site. Participants are invited to bash the children over the head with ... [more]
Never mind allowing cycling, a security guard told me I wasn't even allowed to take photos here. Some property developers are so up themselves.
At 7.17pm, a cyclist was killed on the eastbound carriageway of the A428 between Dry Drayton and Cambourne. The 53-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene after being involved in a collision with a white Ford Transit van. http:/ ... [more]
Parked lorries can sometimes obstruct a cyclist's view of the road. In this case, the lorry is blocking the view of Mill Road, making it hard to turn right from Sedgwick Street.
No cycling in this park, which is a shame as this should be a great place for children to cycle.
A new intake of language students, with shiney new hire bikes, and a desperate lack of secure parking.
Platforms 1&2, 3&4, and the entrance/exits are accessed via steps and a subway. There is no lift at Faversham. A planning application for a lift was made in March 2010, but it was refused.
No cycle parking at Budapest Keleti station. In fact I saw no cycle facilities, no recycling facilities.... but the dog mess situation has improved.
There are plenty of excellent free cycling maps of Bourgogne (Burgundy); but the map of the Yonne towpath south of Auxerre is not good - especially if heading south!
Splendid new extension to the college in central Totnes - with absolutely no cycle parking.
This path is set to shut until Aug 2011 Location: Rugby Gd, Edinburgh (Scotland, United Kingdom)
German cycle path. Too narrow, too close to the road, not well enough surfaced, cars parked on it. http://hembrow.blogspot.com/2010/05/german-cycle-paths-vs-dutch-cycle-paths.html
Carrying a bike up the stairs - necessary if the lifts are out of action. No gutters or channels have been added to this brand new bridge, which could make this task significantly less strenuous.
When the lifts are out of action you have to carry your bike up and down the stairs. There are no channels or gutters, and this photo shows how steep the steps are and what a struggle it can be.
Subsiding shared use cycle path alongside B1102 between Lode and Longmeadow. See also #23790.

Steve positions himself in a typical position for a cyclist next to a bus - but the driver cannot see the cyclist in the mirror - see next photo, #23875.
Mugs Game This "Permit to Travel" machine is a snare for your coins. I inserted a £1 coin. I could tell by the sound it made that it got stuck. I pushed the "Return Coins" button, nothing. I bashed the side of the machine. A slight s ... [more]
drainage needs sorting Location: Davidson's Main, Edinburgh (Scotland, United Kingdom)
St Chad's church, Shrewsbury and gates from The Quarry park - no facilities for cycling.
The surface of a small portion of the Crab & Winkle Way (NCR1) north of the Sarre Penn stream sometimes washes away slightly.
The old railway south of Kirk Michael - a lovely walk, but not much use for cyclists.
Bridge across the waterfront highway and railway at Belém - no access for bikes, wheelchairs, buggies etc.
At the All-Party Parliamentary Cycling Group meeting in early 2010... Charles Clarke MP more interested in reading the CycleStreets flyer :)
Sustrans path near York Racecourse where poor drainage design leads to black ice at bottom of a slope and on a bend! The 'non skid' surface is no help here.
What kind of idiot marks a running route with paint (instead of flour or some other biodegradable powder) ?
A dropped kerb is needed for disabled passengers (see sign), as well as cycles, buggies and wheelchairs.
New River Village, an attractive housing development on useful cycle routes, but with no cycle parking.
New River Village - an attractive new development for young couples and small families, with precisely no cycle parking.

Cycling Demonstration Town? Not until obvious line-of-desire routes like this are opened up, with drop kerbs for cyclists, wheelchairs and buggies.
The cycle stands opposite the Arts Theatre have disappeared - prossibly so Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant can have pavement seating.
