Bollard and painted lines, replacing the exclusionary barrier.

The farm access road from Bar Hill to Girton is now signposted as a bridleway. The route to Girton is the narrow path just to the right of the obvious route. The footpath to the right should be improved as a cycle route to Eddington.

Washpit Lane to Girton, with the silly little gate removed.

The farm access road from Bar Hill to Girton is now signposted as a bridleway - for a lot of cyclists this will be a better route to/from Cambridge than the cycleway by the A1307 past the crematorium.

The future route from Bar Hill to Longstanton and Northstowe currently ends here while a roundabout is under construction.

Transport England built a good bridge for Non-Motorised Users at Bar Hill (and also at Swavesey) which was fine for half a year, until a 'safety' audit led to barriers being installed, in contravention of the government's LTN 1/20.

Highways England (now National Highways) built a good bridge for Non-Motorised Users at Bar Hill (and also at Swavesey) which was fine for half a year, until a 'safety' audit led to barriers being installed, in contravention of the … [more]

Mediocre crossing of Bar Hill perimeter road. It is set away from the roundabout but it forces you to cross both ways at once. Visibility is poor coming from this direction.

New Bar Hill bridge.

Great to hear that the Highways Agency has toiled heroically through the lockdown to open the new A14 and remove all temporary speed limits! Will they actually finish the cycle bridges and shared-use routes soon?

Bridleway from Lolworth entering Boxworth.

The footpath from Lolworth to Bar Hill is apparently open to cyclists but precisely nothing has been done to improve it.

Where the path meets the perimeter road the highway engineers provide safe crossi... just kidding, they don't give a shit about you, you're just some schmuck on foot or a bike.

Eventually the spine path turns into this.

Path guardian.

Unmaintained path unceremoniously dumps you onto roadway. Someone left me a trolley, how thoughtful.

The Spine Path had some nicer parts that were well maintained and landscaped (despite the dry season killing the grass, sadly).

Path almost gone. Like pushing through the jungle. Except I can hear a very wide and fast-moving roadway on the other side of the hedge. No doubt the roadway is well-maintained, after all, it's for motorists.

Degraded path.

Path junction with no visibility splays at all. Clearly not designed for cycling, nor for personal security. Very anti-social design, with the buildings turning their backs and presenting blank walls to the path. Unsurprisingly nobody wants … [more]

Access to the library from the path network.

Part of the network of 'safe' paths within Bar Hill.

One of the entryways to the network of 'safe' paths within the development. Sadly, one of the better ones.

Can you see the entrance into the network of 'safe' paths within the development?

Exclusionary barrier blocking one of the main paths inside Bar Hill. Of course everyone just goes onto the grass...

Bridge in poor shape along path, steep upstands on either side as path settles.

The only cycleway connecting to Bar Hill dumps you onto the big wide perimeter road where you are left to fend for yourself against speeding motor traffic. Rather defeats the point of having safe separate paths...

exclusionary barrier preventing use of the path by tricycles, mobility scooters or other types of cycles

narrow rutted cycle route to bar hill

Another blatant attempt to stop cycling, even though it's on the Bar Hill Cycleway. These barriers are dangerous and need to be removed.

This obstruction needs to be removed. The metal loops are clearly intended to impede cyclists - dangerous and unnecessary. As the track turns sharply just after the obstruction, long bikes would find it very hard to remain on the track.
