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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
Crossing the A13 to leave Basildon for the village of Fobbing on National Cycle Route 13 is a challenge. Here are cars having joined the slip road for the eastbound A13. Crossing this slip road in busy traffic is frightening as it is ve ... [more]
This photo is deceptive - a moment without traffic. Crossing the A13 to leave Basildon for the village of Fobbing on National Cycle Route 13 is a frustrating challenge. This is the crossing looking East, where westbound cars are comi ... [more]
Cambridge On Ice setting up Nov 5th 2009: I thought they were supposed to be further away from the cycle paths this year?
Why does this happen every single time? Hosepipe supplying the fair on Midsummer Common has been left diagonally across the cycle path yet again.
