| 113755 |  | The new "anti-terror" barriers on Kings Parade. I can't help thinking that they were really motivated by a rather cynical desire to make life more awkward for people cycling through the town. The gap is far too narrow for two way cycling and frequently blocked by tour groups admiring the College architecture. For any aspiring terrorists, the chain holding the gate shut doesn't look like it would put up much resistance to a pair of bolt croppers. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |

| 113387 |  | The cost of poorly maintained cycling infrastructure... Frame snapped in two at the bottom bracket, from the battering it receives from Newnham's potholes. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |

| 111408 |  | Blazing vine Location: , Cambridge District (England, UK) England can't compete with New England's autumn colours but all around Cambridge the vines are catching fire. Most of them are on venerable college buildings, but this beauty is on the wall of an early 20th century workshop building, now a dance studio. #FlikrFriday #WarmColours | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 111135 |  | Battered railings encroaching further into a narrow shared path. Why exactly are they needed? The next crossing does not have railings. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 111134 |  | Burst water main, not being fixed. Grantchester High Street | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 111133 |  | 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 a tight gap even tighter. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |

| 111104 |  | The potholed and flooded route to Grantchester. It doesn't get better. | Track: Problem track | |
| 109539 |  | 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? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |

| 103824 |  | 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 at a loss to see why that is so difficult to achieve. #103819 | Pothole: Problem potholes | |

| 103476 |  | 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: , Grantchester (England, United Kingdom) Grantchester, Cambridge | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 103475 |  | 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 | Other: Problem general | |

| 101625 |  | Dead trees, ivy strewn, collapsing into the Love Lane path. Particularly hazardous at night. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101624 |  | Hedgerow saplings collapsing across the path at waist height, forming a soggy barrier in wet weather. This path, like so many, needs better maintenance, particularly of summer growth. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |

| 101289 |  | 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. Why are we still building shared paths like this? [Update - this work was started without any consultation or public announcement, and especially without any reference to the Greenways project. Madness. It was stopped after local protests.] | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101288 |  | 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 whatwill be done to prevent people from parking on it? [Update - this work was started without any consultation or public announcement, and especially without any reference to the Greenways project. Madness. It was stopped after local protests.] | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |

| 95792 |  | 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 with fewest potholes and force anybody on foot or bike to splash through the puddles. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |

| 95321 |  | For as long as I can remember the end of Red Cross Lane has been made awkward to negotiate by anybody trying to get through to Addenbrookes from the East by bike - gated, no dropped kerbs, rough surface, barriers to stop you accessing the road from the path. cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/33236/ Last week I came down Red Cross Lane and found this. Wow, brilliant, just what was needed! Thank you to whoever finally made this happen. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |

| 85758 |  | There is a nasty, blind dog-leg on the Tesco Fulbourn path. I was hit, head on, by another rider as I came round this bend earlier this summer. The path continues straight on, to the left (see lady just emerging on a bike), but visibility is blocked by the hedge in front. There is also a path emerging from the back of Tesco car park, where the lady on the right is about to disappear. Visibility approaching this path is poor from the west, due to vegetation, and is non-existent from the east. Both of these issues can be easily addressed. 1. Cut back the hedge in front to give clear visibility. 2. Re-align the path to give a smooth dog-leg instead of the very abrupt realignment currently present. 3. Re-locate the path into Tesco so that it is away from the corner (to the west 50-100m), and cut back the hedge to improve visibility. There is | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 85757 |  | Going fishing! Much improved bollard arrangement where Carter Bridge ramp joins Devonshire Road. Personally I would have liked to see a centerline marked for 5m up the ramp to help warn of the bollard, but this arrangement is as clear as anyone could expect. Mind you, people still ride the "wrong" side of the post,, like this guy going home from a fishing trip. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |

| 85737 |  | October mist at Coe Fen Technically a public footpath, as are almost all of Cambridge's traffic free cycle routes. The bridge was closed for several months for re-painting. It is a shame that it was not widened or a parallel cycle bridge installed at the time. The bridge is very narrow, far too narrow to pass, and it is very busy at peak hours with people both walking and cycling. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 85630 |  | Cargo trike The only way to travel for any self respecting toddler in Cambridge. Newnham corner is a bit of an awkward mess to negotiate unless you are heading up Barton Road. A widened pavement and a flat topped hump help. | Bicycle: Infrastructure bicycles | |
| 85629 |  | Midsummer Common Technically a public footpath, and rather too narrow for shared use. This is never the less a useful and attractive route. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |

| 85581 |  | Path between the Queen Anne Car Park and Parkside Pool Technically a public footpath, this path provides access to the cycle parking for the pool, and also links Gonville Place with Mortimer Rd and Mill Road. Visibility at corners is poor. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking | |
| 85580 |  | Grantchester path Technically a public footpath, very narrow (see how riders need to leave the path to pass), and with a poor surface. This is never-the-less a fabulous route into the city from the south. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 85579 |  | Parker's Piece Path across the Piece - technically a public footpath, but heavily used for cycle access away from the busy roads surrounding the Piece. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
