Road cut by the A30 Penzance bypass, but there's still a cut-through and crossing to the youth hostel, which could be improved as a useful cycle route.

Cycling Prohibited sign - but it's ok for a car to be parked there.

Road closure for Mazey Day in Penzance - several roads were blocked like this, with the normal signs just beyond.

Cycle stand and Beryl Bikes as near as feasible to the bike-sharing station

The bike sharing station is just right for setting up a stall

The cycle route is on the road, so this sign is pretty invisible to anyone using it

More a petrol station than a regular Co-op shop - no cycle parking

Covered cycle parking in a pretty pointless location, Penzance

Obstructive access to cycle parking on the edge of Penzance

Sheffield stands in a sensible location and a cycle hoop where there are unlikely to be many bikes.

Sheffield stand and an area for cycles with kickstands, which are not common in the UK, especially as it's risky not to lock onto a stand. Perhaps it's for a bike-sharing scheme, but I've not noticed this in Penzance yet. [but I have now … [more]

The alley ahead is not actually a dead-end for pedestrians, and one could walk a bike through if necessary.

Keigwin House, Penzance - a very cycle-positive B&B

All the bikes in Penzance station have been tagged for removal.

Break My Neck Lane - which turned out to be a perfectly normal paved Cornish road.

As promised, cycle parking at the new Penzance Heliport - more use for staff than passengers, I imagine.

The main gates of the National Trust's Trengwainton Gardens - all access now is via the car park, but wouldn't it be nice if pedestrians and cyclists could enter (and park) here?
