[Image taken 14.4.21] Sheffields (racks) at Monks Cross, (Huntington), York. The aisle (gap between the racks) is just 187cm wide. There was no room for me to be able to reverse out without lifting my cycle. For a second view of this site … [more]

[Image taken 14.4.21] Sheffields (racks) in front of Boots and next to Greggs, Monks Cross, (Huntington), York. The aisle (gap between the racks) is just 187cm wide. The racks on the other side were in use. Baskets on the front of cycles … [more]

[Image taken 16.2.21] York, Monks Cross retail park has a network of pedestrian and cycle routes around and through the car parking areas. The pedestrian route here seems to me to be very obvious. There is tactile paving on the pavement and … [more]

See clip at http://youtu.be/p-7ehw6IQVU First car was a bit close, second was far too close and faster. So fast as to be speeding at a prosecutable level (limit+10%+2mph). Right outside a Primary School. At lunchtime. A very considerate … [more]

Great to have new cycle parking in Rochester Kent. But useless as too close to the wall.

See clip at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GELEhVW8WWQ The design of this "cyclepath" clearly falls well below that which users would ever find safe and actively encourages drivers to ignore vunerable road users, potentially lethally.

See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy7JD-QoVF0 This car, in a rush to get through the lights, nearly takes out my back wheel. The camera shot doesn't quite pick up how close to the back wheel they were. And look how much further … [more]

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0gjcSANqr0 Yep, not only do cars pass too close at times, so do cyclists. Of course if a car had been this close it'd have been really dangerous, a cyclist is not as bad. However, you do see me … [more]

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT4eKyWq35E This car tries to squeeze through the gap that isn't there, forcing me out of the way. They get to the end of the road around 2 seconds before I did. Terrible behaviour. Again, … [more]

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=en4c2j4oS4I Wasn't feeling very positive today and ended up in the gutter too much. The result is the obvious, cars pass too close as I've not taken control of the lane. Again, breaking … [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]

We are all held up as we move down this close, winding part of Granchester. I'm on my brakes for a good proportion. At the end, after being very good for so long, the car behind me just must save themselves a second by overtaking earlier … [more]
