Simon on a 1913 tricycle. This trike twice held the record for Land's End to London in the early part of the twentieth century.
Pot hole directly in cycle path - remains unfixed despite complaints to council. Cyclists have to swerve into path of traffic to avoid.
What happens when there's not enough cycle parking: people park several spaces abreast, and bikes fall over. In this case, this is done to excess. And so bikes end up in the path of passing vehicles, with wheels being flattened.
The scene greeting visitors to Cambridge on their way from the railway station. An acute lack of secure cycle parking leads to bikes parked insecurely to the wooden railing, with the result of this vandalism.
A rubbish bin for cyclists on the move. This is on a cycle-path near a school in Assen. Making throwing rubbish into a bin into a "fun" thing to do probably helps to avoid litter. The bin is called a "blikvanger". This usually means "eye ... [more]
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.
"Roadworks at the top of the cycle ramp coming out of the Elizabeth Way / Newmarket Rd roundabout underpass going onto Elizabeth Way itself on the left hand side (by CRC)." "The alternative route to the left side of Elizabeth Way involves ... [more]
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.
Looking towards Hobson Street from King Street. This is one of the most explicit examples of a cycle route going directly between two No Entry signs. The absence of a "cyclists exception " panel underneath the No Entry signs here co ... [more]
This is the location of the start of the Friday Rides. Its on the Stourbridge Common side of Green Dragon Bridge, Cambridge. Zoom the map out to see the local area.
Cyclehoops are designed to be installed on street furniture. Designer Anthony Lau says this reduces street clutter by using existing structures rather than adding more and makes installing them fast - Anthony says he can put in 20 in a day. ... [more]
The centre of Hoogeveen. Post war reconstruction rebuilt this area on American lines as a wide boulevard for cars. Now it's a much more pleasant, more liveable space. Watch the video to see more. A similar example from Nijmegen can ... [more]
Worst possible provision: pavement cycleway where motor vehicles constantly cross or park on the footway.
Seven CYCLISTS DISMOUNT signs within a distance of 380 yards, here in Harlow. Photograph by David Owen, republished with permission, originally published at www.warringtoncyclecampaign.co.uk on their Facility of the Month series, Septem ... [more]

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. This is the part where bicycle remerge onto the road from the pavement. The obstructing car (number plate ... [more]
Milton Road ASL and MCL are frequently invaded by cars. ¿Park & Ride? The red box is popular with taxis #9119, vans #16094, cars #17399 and the police #17438.
The upper end of Downhams Lane, near the Rees Thomas School, just before the cycle path to Hawkins Road. The College Field Development did not use this road and the Council Planners did not want to integrate this lane with its mature trees ... [more]
East Road, 8 March 2007, 3:25 pm. Number plate N146 KVG, reported to police with reference 423. On this occasion the car was on the double yellow line.
Cars are allowed to park Mon-Sat daytime for 30 min in this lay-by on East Road. This car was reported for invading the MCL to police tel. 08454564564 [#8157] on 1 Mar 2007 at 3:15 pm and at 5.41 pm again.
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.
Even a double yellow line does not always stop motorists. This picture was taken one day two after Ian Greasley forwarded message to the "Local Authority Parking Enforcement" (LAPE) office at Cambridge City Council.
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]
When cyclists have to steer around the obstructing cars they are in danger of being hit by accelerating cars coming out of the Newmarket Road roundabout. The double yellow line needs to extend to the point where the dis-used bus stop is wid ... [more]
East Road. Cyclists leaving the subway cycleway bypass round the Newmarket Rd roundabout have to stear around street furniture. This rainy day Mr Mondeo took care of blocking the dropped kerb, despite of the big bicycle painted right in fro ... [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.)
"But Grantchester! ah, Grantchester! There's peace and holy quiet there" - Rupert Brooke
Don't try this with a trailerbike. There are a total of five of these barriers, plus five 90 degree bends and a 180 degree bend on the "cycle" bridge over the A1 at Tempsford.
What possible reason could there be for adding a bollard here, directly next to a fence? See also photo #8778 .
A remarkably smooth and useful bit of path. Segregated by just a white line, pedestrians to the left and cyclists to the right. Not really wide enough for bidirectional use, but as good as it gets in the UK. Photo taken on Land's End to ... [more]
Dangerously poor and bumpy surface at the entrance from the path by the University Library towards West Cambridge
Deprecated: H. Drake, better known as Drake's Cycles has now closed the sales side of its business :-(
Close-up of the Musician in the bin. Apparently he eventually had his £600 bin stolen when he hadn't put it away properly one night.
The cycle parking here was designed to stop skateboarders using this entrance area to an historic university site for honking and back-flips.
Dismounting on a cycleway. For drivers this is the equivalent of having to get out of your car and push! This obstruction badly lets down the Cambridge South East Cycle Route - which was built in the early 1990s as an alternative the the b ... [more]
I repainted this bike by hanging the frame and letting the paint drip down it. I gave it the name: Pollock
These parasol type hanging 'designer' cycle parking, known as 'meathooks', were so unpopular they were replaced after only a few months.
Rounded A cycle parking alongside the Guildhall. This picture was used in Central Government literature about cycle parking.
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]
Cycle hoop. Anthony is a trainee architect who is also a cyclist. And a cyclist who has had a bike stolen by thieves who lifted it off the top of the pole he had 'secured' it to. Anthony has subsequently designed the Cyclehoop http://ww ... [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]
"Tegelijk groen" indicates that cyclists have their own green phase at these traffic lights and that they're allowed to travel in any direction on a green - including diagonal, which is demonstrated in the video. Its is less obvious that ... [more]
Milton Road Bus & Cycle Lane on a Friday morning 8:30 am. Now wait for the guided bus....
The clever way to travel down Milton Road in rush hour. Some people prefer to queue for road space, others prefer to cycle...
The clever way to travel down Milton Road in rush hour. Some people prefer to queue for road space, others prefer to cycle....
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.
This cycle path is being resurfaced so one lane of the road has been taken from drivers as a temporary cycle path while works continue. Note that there is also a cycle path on the opposite side of the road, but cyclists are not told to c ... [more]
Roadworks sign - was anyone aware that this is a contraflow cycle lane, so cyclists are now forced into the path of oncoming taxis from the station, SUVs from St Mary's school etc ?
Due to extensive road works, some roads in Assen can't currently be driven down. This style of temporary road sign shows which. However, despite the inconvenience to drivers, it has been ensured that cyclists can continue to use those route ... [more]
Garbage collection - there's barely enough room to get past this city council refuse vehicle.
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!
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]
The Tegelijk Groen sign tells you that all the green cycle lights will go green at once and you can cross in any direction (even diagonally). If you watch the video you'll see how this leads directly to a newly upgraded road. Note how th ... [more]
Most things to do with bikes are legal in the Netherlands, including cycling with Fido on the bike path. Why should dogs miss out on the fun ? Cycling with two dogs at the same time is considered to be a bit more than the average person ... [more]
It's the 21st of December, -4 C, about half past mid-day on a working day. The bike racks are more than full as usual. Watch the video to get an idea of how many cyclists you see here, even on cold days. The paths have, of course, all be ... [more]
Awkward pram-handles removed after complaints over several years by the Campaign - success! This junction point is now much easier to pass for both cyclists and walkers. Compare with before: #9023
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]
