New cycle lane: between a wheel and a sharp buildout. The red tarmac is <1.20m. The zigzag is 1.5m in its extremes, but where the pavement juts out the width falls to 1.3m.
The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout) when empty. The bay was designed for buses, not parking. Signs are confusing and need amending to enforce mandatory cycle la ... [more]
The dis-used bus stop was not designed as a car park. The parking sign (red line) indicates a car park where cars obstruct the pavement, the dropped kerb and the mandatory on-street cycle lane. This picture was taken on day two after Ian Gr ... [more]
After writing several times to the authorities I still encounter cars obstructing this part pretty much every afternoon I pass Eastroad. The disused bus stop needs re-designing.
Yesterday's car has not been washed. Had it been moved? Ian Greasley, Senior Engineer wrote earlier today: "There are no funds at the present moment for any re-design of this lay-by even if it was warranted. There are however funds for ... [more]
Hand over all your carrots if you want to get through! (The National Trust's Konig ponies are supposed to be wild, but they're getting street-wise.)
The clever way to travel down Milton Road in rush hour. Some people prefer to queue for road space, others prefer to cycle....
One technique that is sometimes used to steal bikes is to lock a bike to another one. The miscreant comes along later at a quieter time of day, cuts through the other lock and takes both bikes away. This is called 'over-locking'. I don't ... [more]
Long Rd cycle underpass on Aug 7th. All the box sections are in place and work has started on 'wing walls'
Mandatory Cycle Lane on East Road. Car parking on lay-by invades MCL with rear wheel right on top of the bicycle painted on the floor. Car (number plate EJ93 MKE ) reported to police with reference 154. Note the prolonged bend which leave ... [more]
Typical situation on Hills Road. What are MCLs good for if cars (number plate AK55 BCF ) stand / stop and even park in them?
Milton Road just after rush hour. Typical situation with on pavement "cyclists give way at every crossing" cycle way.
As ever, the barriers really shouldn't be here. However, the path provided is very direct and very useful. An excellent example of a 1960s/70s design feature which has somehow been forgotten in more modern developments in Cambridge.
The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout) when empty. Signs on the bay are confusing and need amending to enforce mandatory cycle lane.
The car park begins (and double yellow line ends) where the width of the bay clearly is insufficient for any vehicle.
At the end of Fox's Lane bridge, take the Fowlers Park path shown going straight on here (along the course of the lost GWR main line railway) to go towards A460 Cannock Road bridge
Interesting and perhaps clever use of bollards to slow down cyclists at a busy entrance to the Sedgwick Site from West Road. You can still cycle through but have to wiggle, which slows you down enough, but not too much to be a pain. But the ... [more]
Curious markings with the 'give way' assuming cyclists will pass each other on the right. Funny old world.
Bait's Bite Lock The steps here have channels to help bikes across. I think this picture was taken during a leisurely ride.
Maybe some inspiration for cycle parking designs comes from drinking. The beer photo was taken during a Cycle Registration conference in Ostende, Belgium, November 2001. The Cycle parking photo was taken somewhere in Malmö, Sweden.
Bikes often fall over when locked to 'Sheffield' style stands. This happens because as the neighbouring bikes are parked and unparked the bike is jostled and the cycle lock works its way down the leg of the stand.
A Rowe-style Sustrans Milepost (ref MP263). One of several along the length of the NCN72 route.
Tunnel under York station - supposedly segregated, but in practice dominated by pedestrian traffic to/from the National Railway Museum
NCN route 66, the Way of the Roses, passing through the former Stamford Bridge station.
No Cycling on path (not on online mapping) opposite the former Stamford Bridge station
Signage for NCN route 66, The Way of the Roses, at the former Stamford Bridge station.
The temporary (May 2012 only) art installation / café Hunt and Darton, http://www.facebook.com/huntanddartoncafe alongside one of Britain's oldest Cycle Shops, Howes Cycles, http://www.howescycles.co.uk/.
The sign refers to the bikes, outside this art café, http://www.facebook.com/huntanddartoncafe see also #38232.
Unusual - a path with its own road sign. Presumably a footway with no cycling allowed.
Paths on The Stray, Harrogate - children are allowed to cycle here but seemingly not adults.

Path on The Stray, Harrogate, crossing road - improvement for cycling with a toucan crossing to the road opposite would be welcome.

Big new riverside development in Bradford on Avon - far too much space for cars and absolutely no sign of any cycle facilities.

Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Bike at this angle put some strain on the lock making it hard to get unlocked and off.
Even with large hedges, there is enough width for a car to nose out and the cyclist is able to go around them.
Solar light unit installed on Cottenham to Histon cyclepath. Lifetime is apparently 5 years.
Weston development on Cromwell Rd behind "greens gym". This development needs to be prepared for a Chisholm Trail access / exit towards the railway line.
This is about the only sensible way to use 'wheelbender' cycle racks. Note that none of the bikes here have their wheels where the designers imagined.
Arch available for the Chisholm trail on the western (city centre) side of Mill Road bridge (see also #37957), roughly between the staff car park and the City Council depot. For a view towards Carter Bridge at railway station >> #37959<<.
View of the railway staff car park zoomed in from Mill Road bridge. For a view from behind the fence under Carter Bridge see >> #37958<<.
Possible route for the Chisholm Trail on the western (city centre) side of the railway track by the station. See arch from the bridge in #37960 . Picture taken from Carter Bridge looking north towards the arches under Mill Road bridge. See ... [more]
Ready made route for the Chisholm Trail on the eastern side of the railway track by the station (from the opposite end #37964). Section from from Carter Bridge to Mill Road bridge arch. View south >> #37955<<.
Mill Road bridge has good size, open arches on both sides of the track which would suit the Chisholm Trail.
Arch on the western side of Mill Road bridge. See >> #37965<< for a view of the track south of the gate.
