Footpath with obstructions giving access to River Sowe valley and Dorchester Way Open Space (in what sounds like local-government speak).
[Image taken 19.9.23] Centre of Excellence for Heritage Craft Skills and Estate Management, Deangate, York. Context and links: #197599.
Steps on the pedestrian route by the Seine (the cycleway is in the former expressway tunnel to the right).
The Strathbungo footbridge over the railway has been rebuilt as a footbridge, alas, with steps - but it's only 100m to a road bridge.
This barrier is like a stile. This makes this path inaccessible for cyclists but fine for walkers. Other routes are available but the terrain in Gill Wood is more suitable for MTBs.
Planters are used across the end of this access road to the Timber Works new development, creating a kind of modal filter.

No through way onto the Amey Cespa site. Unless the blockage is removed, routing journeys this way will be unhelpful.
Concrete blocks across an entrance. They are not blocking a right of way, but they do seem to be excessive and antisocial. Concrete blocks across a footpath to the Beach Ditch. There are bridleway signposts from the road called Green End, … [more]
These barriers date from when Hegyeshalom station was one of the main crossing points through the Iron Curtain - not needed now.
[Image taken 16.4.23] Looking into the former Bootham Park Hospital grounds, Bootham, York. The gates have been being left open at weekends. Wide open. If the route into or out is limited by the angle of the gates the bollard reduces the … [more]
This footbridge is shown on OpenCycleMap as a cycleway - it definitely isn't. Go to the next bridge east, which is far better.
After the game at Pride Park - no way to cycle on the shared-use paths over the bridge, but the links to the riverside route (NCN 6) are fine.
Crowd control barriers at Kensington Olympia station - not just not cycle-friendly, but not even people-friendly.
Bollard forest, see: https://twitter.com/johnstreetdales/status/1610233969483685888?s=46&t=vW_Nn3tUA3xYcTr1LsvBZg https://twitter.com/gazza_d/status/1610891642654818309?s=46&t=9vuB0lCrewXO_KikEqed4w … [more]
Path above Carbis Bay station - cycleable according to OpenCycleMap, but it starts with a flight of steps.
[Image taken: Unknown but earlier than summer 2022] Cinder Mews/Jubilee Terrace, York. [NOTE: No street view from this angle] This barrier has been replaced: #187500, #186591. I took the image from a Jubilee Terrace to Scarborough Bridge … [more]
Dropped kerbs have now been installed to assist with cycling around the gate at Speir's Wharf, addressing the issue in #170157.
Closed access to The Paddock nature reserve - not a huge problem as the next gate is open and it's surrounded by water on the other three sides.
[Image taken 4.11.22] Cinder Lane, West Esplanade (Scarborough Bridge), York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] Jez gets off. Context and links: #187504.
[Image taken 10.10.22] Cinder Mews/Jubilee Terrace, York. [Note: No street view at this exact location] The route is noticeably uphill in this direction. If you have to stop and give way if you have health issues and/or are on a heavy cycle … [more]
[UPDATE: On 4.11.22 I did a count here while waiting for someone - #187500. It was a dry, sunny day though sharp and gusty by the time I was here. In 30 minutes, 15.12-15.42, 74 people passed through. Dog walkers; a runner with a buggy and … [more]
I was looking for the steps marked on the WHW on OpenStreetMap (which didn't appear to exist), but found these steps instead next to the library. As I was on the bike, I didn't go up them to find out where they led.
[Image taken 19.8.22] Terry Avenue (ahead), near junction of Butcher Terrace (behind camera left), Millennium Bridge (behind camera, right), York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] I was perplexed that yet more bollards … [more]
Road closure with no thought for cyclists etc - there could be a pleasant route parallel to the B1052 here.
Recent bollards installed for Cambridgeshire County Council don't have those nasty protruding handles
End of the concrete path past the Dungeness nuclear power stations - you can push a bike up onto the embankment
Entrance to Auchenshuggle Woods, off London Rd. Gate with sprung hinges onto gravel path. Locals who cycle often use southern pavement of London Rd to get to Auchenshuggle (despite Spaces for People lanes on road).
