I'm thrilled to see that a dropped kerb has appeared here, making this shared-use path useable at last.
This is the first opportunity after the roundabout in the distance for cyclists to get on to the shared-use path.
I have no idea what the purpose of these shelters is, not even motorbikes use them, and I'm surprised they're still there.
Footpath in Comberton, recently cleared and seemingly ideal for cycling - except for the gate closing its southern end.
See clip at http://youtu.be/nOOCXIycdaA Rather than having a little patience, the driver of this minibus full of schoolkids decides to pull out at a blind bend, then has to rush back in (close to me) as traffic comes from the other … [more]
No cycle parking at the Meridian School, Comberton (but a nice cargo bike there on Saturday morning)
Cut-through in Comberton - a dropped kerb would open this up as a cycle route towards the Village College.
A long way round (theoretically) on the shared-use path to Comberton Village College - cycle to the east end of the site, cross the road then return to the west.
See clip at http://youtu.be/KV_E__c-Eg4 Another reason to avoid shared paths. The driver clearly can't see anything coming along the path. Hate to think what would happened if I'd been 20 yards further on than I was.
See clip at http://youtu.be/vXk95IRhjos Coming into Comberton there's a pony and trap going the other way. Friendly smiles and waves all round! Civilised transport compared to those rushing (but not fast) polluting transport options.
See clip at http://youtu.be/P5qssLv91Oo This car joins from the road at the left of the roundabout. As I'm making my way between the two pinch points I hear them accelerating very hard despite there being no space to pass (see … [more]
Hundreds of cars at Comberton College (including in all the bus bays) for a rock-choir Guinness Record attempt (and one bike).
Hundreds of cars at Comberton College for a rock-choir Guinness Record attempt and one bike (Katy's!).
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry-Tx1XFp5k This wasn't a close pass, it was all legal and safe, just completely boneheaded. As the clip starts parked cars and oncoming traffic are visible. So why pass only to stop? Whilst … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/MYuu-q8HM80 Roadsigns, parked cars, and pedestrians (for both our safety!). Highway Code 61. Use cycle routes, advanced stop lines, cycle boxes and toucan crossings UNLESS at the time it is UNSAFE to do so. … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/iSIjWxINzUo A driver shows how to do it. I'm in primary as I get many close passes at speed here. I hear the car coming form behind. Then I hear them starting to slow down. I pull into the secondary position and … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/7k8zysaHaW4 This permissive bridleway is fantastic! Clearly added in the past couple of years (Google Streetview didn't have it as at June 2012) by a local landowner, possibly the nearby farm (UPDATE below). If … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/ei81oJqAAwc First and third car were fine. Middle car was much closer. Breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314
Minibus Parking painted out and replaced with cycle parking - at last, some decent provision at Comberton Village College!

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Q0Yb0MToA This road is rapidly becoming a hot spot for me. It's a narrow, dead straight, two-lane, unclassified road. Because it is so straight, cars will approach 60mph despite the brow and … [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci7guvKKaOo Immediately after having a car come far too close at speed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soTWCkaLSsc) I move into the centre of the lane to take control of it (as recommended by the … [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soTWCkaLSsc This car passes far too close at considerable speed. It's going so fast, I can't pick off the registration. As you can see, there is on-coming traffic. Again, breaking "Highway code … [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eFQTIrZgeY I often note bad practice on this road, so I thought it appropriate to show, and thank, this driver for their good road behaviour. As I'm riding up, the road ahead is not entirely … [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4DZT2U1thI This pinch point is always interesting. I often pull out quite early to show myself to oncoming cars. I'm often doing 25mph+ here (in a 30mph limit) so should really, really been seen … [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la1IsQi-9bM I've learnt to avoid this section of road within a metre or so of the verge as it's very rough and leads to steering issues. This puts me in the middle of the road. Cars just assume … [more]
