Lots of bikes at the Blue Ball in Grantchester on a Friday lunchtime - most locked to a chain along the wall.
The end of the queue between Grantchester and Trumpington at 08.45 on a Thursday. Most of the drivers probably want to turn right toward Addenbrooke's but can't because cars turning left on to Trumpington Road are blocked by standing … [more]
Attractive cycle parking at The Orchard tea garden - slightly further from the action than it was, I think.

Footpath west from Grantchester - cyclists come this way, but should really go around on the paved farm track
Footpath into Grantchester - cyclists come this way, but should really go around on the paved farm track
This doesn't seem so bad, but every time I make my way around this bend (every couple of days during the Covid-19 lockdowns) I end up with a car on my tail. [resurfaced by February 2021]
Permissive footpath from the Newnham-Grantchester track to the Barton Road - apart from this stepped footbridge it's all passable on a hybrid bike in dry weather.

This was already a very tight and awkward gap to negotiate. Knuckle crusher rails were installed last year to punish anybody who didn't get their alignment quite right. This bollard has now been added to make it even more difficult and make … [more]

As if this gate wasn't awkward enough to negotiate before, somebody has bolted a post onto the narrow cattle grid. Why is there so much resistance to making this busy, popular route to Granchester cycle friendly?
The Grantchester Meadows path just doesn't get any better. This is the condition after the County Council have allegedly "fixed" it. All it needs is a tarmac path between the end of the surfaced road to the start of the surfaced path. I am … [more]

Riding the path from Grantchester to Haslingfield. Only a public footpath on this side of the M11, the motorway bridge is stepped and not suitable for cycling. There is a crying need for a decent route between these villages. Location: , … [more]
The ramped, stepped bridge between Grantchester and Haslingfield. The lack of legitimate cycle routes connecting these two villages is a disgrace. Location: England, United Kingdom Grantchester, Cambridge
Grantchester Meadows path. Thistles and nettles growing out of the fence by 1m. These will reach half way across the new narrow shared path, visible in the background. Narrow paths, encroachment by vegetation, these are not new problems. … [more]
Grantchester Meadows path. New 1.5m wide path under construction, tight to the fence. This will be just as unsatisfactory as the existing narrow path alongside Skater's Fen. Why such a narrow path when there is so much space available? And … [more]
The County RoW officer says that local residents object to the surface of the Grantchester Meadows path here being repaired "because it would encourage parking". Well the state of it clearly doesn't deter parking, people park on the bits … [more]
Even in the middle of winter the bridleway between Barton and Grantchester is well used by cyclists, as can be seen by the multitude of tyre tracks in the mud. This really could do with a proper, sealed surface.
In dry weather, this bridleway is a much nicer way of getting to Cambridge than the busy A603. Unfortunately the surface is poor and drainage non existent so when it rains you arrive at work with your bike, bags, clothes and shoes … [more]

Lots of doom-laden signs warning that the road is closed between Grantchester and Trumpington - and guess what? Access as usual for cyclists and pedestrians.
Private access to St Catherine's College sports ground and (left) Quarter to Six Quadrant path - a shame neither offers a cycle link to Grantchester Road.
Fairly pointless bit of permissive bridleway in Grantchester (SW of Cambridge - the Quarter to Six Quadrant)

See clip at http://youtu.be/X2L-TYJVx0M This road always makes me nervous. I get many close passes (as can be seen on cyclestreets.net). It's used as a rat run by many who are quite happy doing 60mph only a few feet from me in it's narrow … [more]

See clip at http://youtu.be/i4-_yL3jPBM Heading down the High Street and Mill Way is usually a crowded experience in summer. Lots of visitors parked up. This means there is pretty much no space for anyone to overtake me. Either the … [more]
Looking northwards from the turning into the Rugby Club where traffic calming measures are proposed.
