Signs at the Jane Coston Bridge state: Route 11 is interrupted between Lode, Wicken and Ely, follow Route 51 to Bottisham. For NCN route 11 to Lode, Wicken and Ely, follow Route 51 to Bottisham.
Amazing potholes considering this is a dead-end for motor traffic - but it's a National Cycle Route and a vital route to Addenbrooke's, so let's hope it gets fixed.
There are potholes everywhere in what used to be a civilised city, but an added annoyance is the amount of gravel thrown out of them, especially on Trumpington Road.
Cars speed along Somers Road daily at 40mph + in a built up residential area. Someone will be hit by a speeding vehicle
[Image taken 29.5.23] Scarborough Terrace, junction with Hudson Street, York. This person (ditto the couple before her) was happy for me to photograph her having to walk around the inconsiderately parked vehicle. I said I would send it to … [more]
[Image taken 29.5.23] Scarborough Terrace, junction with Hudson Street, York. This vehicle has been here a few times when I've walked and cycled this route. For pedestrians the dropped kerb is obstructed. For all path and road users the … [more]
[Image taken 29.5.23] Deangate, York. These racks are Sheffields - tick. They are well-placed for the city centre - tick. But they are of the toastrack design ie they have linking rails - you have to lift your cycle over them when entering … [more]

Tight chicane at entrance to a cycleway. Malago Greenway https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1970792
[Image taken 27.5.23] Wigginton Road, York. Uncontrolled growth restricts the width of the path and can create conflict with people on the other side of the offroad segregated route. When the foliage falls it seems to be left in situ … [more]
[Image taken 27.5.23] Wigginton Road, York. Illustrates why infra needs to be planned... in this case so cleaning of the route can take place. The tarmac is deteriorating - breaking up. The grit is a skid hazard that is washed/blown onto … [more]

[Image taken 27.5.23] Skeldergate close to the junction with Fetter Lane, York. Red box: the street surface has suddenly massively (and visibly) deteriorated. Other image today and links: #194408. Yellow box: destinations have distances - … [more]
[Image taken 27.5.23] North Street, York. Taken to show how a trike user locks the machine to railings/non-bespoke cycle parking. Context and links: #194415.
[Image taken 27.5.23] North Street, York. Flyparked Tri-1 (www.pashley.co.uk/products/tri-1) trike. Shows a need for cycle parking. And spaced such that a wider rig like this and/or a rider who needs more spaceto get on and off, can use it. … [more]
[Image taken 27.5.23] Wellington Row/North Street, junction with Tanner Row, York. These signs regularly face the wrong way. Are they hit by vehicles? Or is it vandalism? They are important for the safety of people using the contra flow … [more]
[Image taken 27.5.23] Stirling Road, York. Slotted drain cover in direction of travel for people pushing buggies, on scooters or riding cycles out of roko and if continuing over the segregated, offroad NMU route. Compare with the one in: … [more]

A pothole around a gully in Cleeves Quadrant, and the path to Priesthill & Darnley station diverging from the road at the bus stop, where there is no dropped kerb.
Safety barrier too close together meaning you can't cycle though, need to mount the grass curb in order to get through. Change the safety barriers to allow for cyclists to get through
[Images taken 26.5.23] Deangate, York. The cycle with the trailer projects a minimum of 64cm further into the road than the others. (Compare with: #194419.) These racks are at the entrance to a nursery (Little Green Rascals … [more]
I'm sad. These signs are going against Highway Code 195 that states that cars must give way to pedestrians and cyclists on the parallel crossing or waiting to cross. Please can we get the priorities fixed? JJ Thompson Avenue.
The poorly surfaced path from Whitriggs Road leads to the museum centre car park in Woodhead Road. It appears to be signed as a public path, but do the gates get locked at night?
New road and roundabout on the edge of Miercurea Ciuc with no cycling provision at all, or even pedestrian crossings.
Traffic on Mill Road. Note how the only efficient vehicles for a town centre are stuck behind the inefficient ones.
A sort of modal filter, Miercurea Ciuc - fine except that cyclists have to use the pedestrian crossings and dropped kerbs.
The start of the path from Shawbridge Street to Pollokshaws Road, for Pollok Country Park. But the sign says Auldhouse Park, which is the other way. This path is a short but steep ramp, to get around the steps beyond. See also #194237.

There should be an off road cycle path from Sloansway to Crookhams next to the B1000 to fill a gap in the cycle paths around Mundells.
There should be an off road cycle path from Crookhams to Sloansway next to the B1000 to fill a gap in the cycle paths around Mundells.
Entrance to Bridleway needs fixing as it's a rough mess, which is a shame as it's a safe route avoiding speeding cars on Waterside.
Step over horse gate is a pain for people on cycles and does not conform to the latest LTN 1/20 standards. Please replace.
Bridleway should be a very useful route from Edworth Rd to Biggleswade but is too overgrown with grass and hedges to be easy to use. An annual maintenance job would make all the difference.
Bridleway is very overgrown and has lots of low hanging branches. It would be great if this could be made easier to use as a safe route from Edworth Road to the centre of Biggleswade.
[Image taken 22.5.23] RHS Garden Harlow Carr, Crag Lane, Beckwithshaw, Harrogate. Not only is the cycle parking not signposted either from Otley Road, anywhere along Crag Lane, or when you are almost at it (see: #194219) but the road … [more]
[Image taken 22.5.23] RHS Garden Harlow Carr, Crag Lane, Beckwithshaw, Harrogate. To reach this point on a cycle you have ridden 325m from Otley Road. A truly depressing trip. All of that distance is car parking. And it’s all full. There is … [more]
[Image taken 22.5.23] Northern service (York to Leeds via Burley Park), platform 11, York rail station, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] All of these seats tip up to accommodate a wheelchair. The fixed table makes it an … [more]
[Image taken 22.5.23] Northern service (York to Leeds via Burley Park), platform 11, York rail station, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] My cycle does not fit on or under these bars. I can’t therefore roll it backwards (the … [more]
Image taken 22.5.23] Kingsland Terrace junction with Jubilee Terrace, York. Worn cycle direction/cycle lane markings. No clarity over priority – compare with the giveway markings for road users on the carriageway to the right. Other image … [more]
[Image taken 22.5.23] Kingsland Terrace junction with Jubilee Terrace, York. Cyclists (only) can turn left into the contraflow lane: #194206. But there’s no signage stating this option.
[Image taken 22.5.23] Jubilee Terrace looking into Bright Street, York. This very narrow gap is two-way for people on cycles… I don’t think it is safe as there is no overt warning to expect someone turning out of the gap into your path. The … [more]
[NOTE: 29.5.23 The sign was still as here. Disappointing as this was a bank holiday weekend when Coppergate will have been used by more people who weren't local and who were therefore less likely to know there was a cycle contraflow lane.] … [more]
The council should consider widening the pavement over the motorway bridge to incorporate a cycle lane for families and school children cycling from Kenn village to Clevedon.
Horribly narrow advisory cycle lanes in Great North Road at a pinch point. Taken from a rail replacement bus service.
The sign says 'Cycle Lane Closed Ahead' but the section has far as Bedford Lane is as good as open. The closure is at Norfolk Court. No diversion information is given, but the only likely diversion is into the main carriageway, so this sign … [more]
A van driver obstructing cyclists by parking on the South City Way cycleway and footway. There is a parking space just along the road to the right.
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] The two signs are within feet of each other. The one facing the camera says users should expect people to be cycling on this … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] There's a second sign relating to cyclists just feet from the first. It's completely obscured. Such signs are also important for … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] Even when you get closer on foot the sign is not legible. Context and links: #194151.
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] The path is very narrow. There is a sign saying cyclists can use it/pedestrians should expect cyclists at least to this point. … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. In contrast to last week, NMUs can use the path on this side. Other image here today and links: #194141. But where are the signs for people on cycles? See #194151, #194152, … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road, Huntington / York. Note the new sign. It says there is access to New Lane. That’s good. It’s true. This means pedestrians can continue to the path along this side of New Lane (and from there to the … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road, Huntington / York. Inaccurate/misleading sign. One week on from #193939 and any NMU heading along Malton Road needs to cross but and the route has now been opened up for pedestrians and cyclists wanting … [more]
The route across the vacant ground leads directly to the shops and the toucan crossing across Nitshill Road. This will be lost if the land is redeveloped without a formal path being formed.
The waste ground between Nitshill Road and the path to Woodhead Road needs tidying up and a formal path established.
It's great that there's a crossing on this route towards the station, but it's actually very dangerous if you don't know it - the outer bits are on slip roads where traffic gives way to pedestrians, but the central bit is controlled by … [more]
[Image taken 19.5.23] Providence House, University of York, Innovation Close, York Science Park, Heslington, York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location.] I also struggled to get my bike in here. The racks are too close together. The … [more]
