| 105903 |  | Oh look, new signs from @ChelmsCouncil to show how unwelcoming they are if you cycle to the city centre. One to add to my new blog. t.co/lqLuSaHTgJ | General sign/notice: Problem signs | |
| 105898 |  | Chester Avenue, Slateford, Edinburgh. Where we built an out of town shopping centre in the middle of a residential area. Sunday, 1pm. t.co/XspjiI2zjF | Congestion: Problem congestion | |
| 105894 |  | Not all loading is essential*. Clerkenwell Rd needs kerb-protected bike tracks. Paint doesn’t work. *(London officially has the tastiest tap water in the world). t.co/xChTttRZEA | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 105735 |  | Good Bye Cycle Lane, Hello School Run Every day during term time people bring cars to roads near their child's school and take it for granted that their noble cause gives them priority over cycle lanes, double yellow lines, pavements and courteous road behaviour in general. Amusingly, many of them live within easy cycling or walking distance. | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 105415 |  | Guidance requires: ☑️A pair of signs, for easy visibility from both lanes ☑️900mm diameter, for visibility at high speeds This ensures they are seen by cyclists doing 70mph in the outside lane t.co/S00hLs87hw | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 105301 |  | Hey Siri, show me a crushingly unsubtle visual metaphor for @CityWestminster’s transport policy t.co/aouib5ezJi | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking | |
| 105223 |  | Purple sign for cycle and bridleway t.co/TG8ixiOPlt | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 105177 |  | It is days like today that highlight how car centric Glasgow is. Almost 50% of Glaswegians don't have access to a private car. While the roads were ice free, the paths were like ice rinks. #activetravel #travelpoverty t.co/vhkNFMcgcp | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 104682 |  | @RoyalMail when will you instruct your drivers that bike lanes and especially fully segregated ones are not for parking, especially when options are available? South West City Way segregated lane in Glasgow @GlasgowCC t.co/MZYDmZ8WeA | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 104681 |  | @cyclestreets @livingstreets Only #cycle parking at Chawton Park Surgery, #Alton likely to leave your bicycle needing treatment 'after' a visit. No wonder most patients travel by car and NHS overwhelmed by dealing with sedentary-lifestyle diseases. #MustDoBetter t.co/1UaWZwT3rU | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking | |
| 104680 |  | This type of infra is excellent but will be wasted money unless protective measures are included too. @GlasgowCC @collin_little @GoBikeGlasgow t.co/QRSaqPbHhQ | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 104679 |  | I'm not normally one for ragging on my colleagues but this shiny new car park at Gloucester station is an active travel crime scene. True @bollocksinfra t.co/c1octJbVNO | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104575 |  | @cyclestreets @livingstreets #pavementparking on National Cycle Network route 224, Chawton Park Road, Alton, Hampshire: time 09:43, Monday 14th January. Wonder if incidents like this account for woefully low levels of #cycling in #Alton? t.co/icqxfQALEl | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 103928 |  | When the tiny bit of cycle infrastructure in BIRMINGHAM is treated with respect. FFS. t.co/PqI3Gadecd | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 103927 |  | Look, I know it's shit infrastructure, just a bit of paint, but there's multistorey and surface car parking within a couple of hundred metres. I have to cycle against the flow of motorised traffic because you're a selfish twat. Thanks. t.co/MqDNYqW1kS | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 103731 |  | Glasgow's joined up infra as it transitions from segregated to 'shared with pedestrians'. A pole and a parked van. Nice. t.co/I1zYIvWeLB | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 103672 |  | I waited 4 sequences of Argyle st/ Jamaica st🚦- this remained red (having dodged a taxi who’d pulled in and parked on the cycle lane). We simply won’t shift people to cycling if even the limited infrastructure doesn’t work @GlasgowCC. Any thoughts @AnnaLangside @GoBikeGlasgow? t.co/88IaVUyBDt [Cycle signals now sensor triggered, when they didn't used to be and just went when the lights changed for the opposite direction] | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 103519 |  | They're still at it @AnnaLangside @GoBikeGlasgow @GlasgowCC Really think the segregation needs to be more substantial t.co/08xkctm49Z | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 103495 |  | How am I supposed safely cycle up this street if cars are parked in the contraflow cycle lane, forcing me into on coming traffic? @GlasgowCC @AnnaLangside t.co/jcbx6GVDyv | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |

| 103486 |  | Woodgate Valley Country Park - fingerpost Location: Ridgacre, West Midlands (England, United Kingdom) Heading along the main path towards West Boulevard. All nicely paved, suitable for cyclists, joggers, walkers and dog walkers. Fingerpost seen after crossing a footbridge. Paths in multiple directions but I chose to go towards West Boulevard, so missed going to the Visitor Centre. Hole Farm Trekking Centre and the Urban Farm were to the right. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103485 |  | Woodgate Valley Country Park - path Location: Ridgacre, West Midlands (England, United Kingdom) Heading along the main path towards West Boulevard. All nicely paved, suitable for cyclists, joggers, walkers and dog walkers. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |

| 103474 |  | The HArTT cycle route goes down this steep slope to the Union Canal (see #101156). A new sensibly graded ramp has been built to the right (see #101153). | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 103473 |  | The HArTT cycle route goes down this track from Slamannan Road to the Union Canal. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103472 |  | Signage for the HArTT cycle route on a bus stop on Slamannan Road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103471 |  | Someone must have decided this layout was a good idea! | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103470 |  | The path towards Slamannan Road and Falkirk High station, with lighting columns placed so they do not obstruct the path. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 103469 |  | A new path for the HArTT cycle route, together with waymarker post. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103468 |  | Tiny route signage for the HArTT cycle route. Easy to miss at a turn. | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 103467 |  | Barriers at Lionthorn Road crossing. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103466 |  | Once the path gets going, it is fine, until the next road crossing. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103465 |  | The nearest dropped kerb to the start of the path to Falkirk High station (see #103464) is on a very narrow section of footway, and together with the barriers makes for a needlessly awkward piece of cycling. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 103464 |  | A kerb and barriers across the start of the newly rebuilt path to Falkirk High station. There is a dropped kerb but it's off to the left (see #103465). | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103463 |  | The end of Hallglen Terrace and the start of the path through to the Glenburn Road underpass. See also #103233. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 103462 |  | Lack of permeability at the end of Parkhead Road in Hallglen. There is a similar step off to the left as well. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103461 |  | Getting the sense these prefab kerbs fitted to anchor points aren't suitable on a route with such heavy traffic (Middlepath St, Belfast) t.co/DySgqGTitY | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 103460 |  | Superb example of inappropriate pavement parking and encroachment onto a roundabout from the ever inconsiderate @ArnoldClark @ACHelpTeam It’s no wonder the concrete is sinking. @BadParkersUK t.co/TFDuYXL0qv | Car storage: Problem carstorage | |
| 103424 |  | The end of the Hallglen cycle path at Hallglen Primary School. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103423 |  | As seen in #103422, the dropped kerb on the Glenburn Road toucan crossing does not cover the full width of the tactiles. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103422 |  | At toucan crossing across Glenburn Road, the dropped kerb covers only about half the width of the tactiles. See close-up view at #103423. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103421 |  | The Hallglen cycle path goes around a bus shelter in New Hallglen Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103420 |  | The Hallglen cycle path crosses the spinal path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103419 |  | The start of around 300 metres of cycle path to Hallglen Primary School from Nevis Place. It crosses the spinal path which doesn't appear to be regarded as a path for cycling. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103418 |  | The underpass beneath New Hallglen Road on the spinal path through Hallglen could do with some TLC. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103417 |  | The spinal path through Hallglen. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 103416 |  | The spinal path through Hallglen. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 103415 |  | The eastern end of the step-free section of the spinal path right through the northern side of Hallglen. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions | |
| 103376 |  | The Wester Way ends at Westerhill Road and awaits the building of the next phase of the Bishopbriggs Relief Road, and a new path alongside the railway to Lenzie. Corduroy tactiles have been provided (not cycleway tactiles) even though this is an unsegregated shared path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103375 |  | The Wester Way alongside Phase 4 of the Bishopbriggs Relief Road. The lampposts have been planted in the path rather than alongside it (as has been done on the adjacent road), but other than this, it is built to a reasonable standard, and has a good view! | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 103374 |  | A sign for the Wester Way alongside Wester Cleddens Road. There aren't any of these signs on the path further south, even though there is now a continuous path from Auchinairn Road to Westerhill Business Park. Some connecting paths have still to be finished, including the path alongside the speed limit sign. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103373 |  | Although the Wester Way has already been launched, the toucan crossing across Wester Cleddans Road has still to be commissioned. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 103372 |  | I'm not sure what the barriers here are meant to achieve, or why they are blocking the flagship cycleway on Waterloo Street. | Roadworks: Problem roadworks | |
| 103362 |  | Cycling home with Flora along Pollokshaws Road. Traffic management for the shared path resurfacing better cycle provision than path itself! Buy hey, 6 lanes for motors obviously essential t.co/Whhbubr5SC | Roadworks: Infrastructure roadworks | |
| 103233 |  | The path between the southeastern and southwestern parts of Hallglen. See also #103463. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103232 |  | 'No Motor Vehicles' over the rebuilt railway bridge at Hallglen, although they'd either have to fit through the underpass at #103230 or come down some steps! | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 103231 |  | The Glenburn Road underpass, near Beauly Court, could do with a bit of tidying up. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103230 |  | The step-free access continues, but only through the underpass. Other than that, the only other option is onto the carriageway at Beauly Court. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103228 |  | The step-free path through the southeastern part of Hallglen, the opposite end from #103227. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103227 |  | The step-free path across the southeastern part of Hallglen. Although many of the connections seem to have steps. See also #103228. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 103226 |  | Land available for a step-free path across to New Hallglen Road and connections to the wider path network. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 103225 |  | One of the few step-free connections to the main path through the southeastern part of Hallglen, linking to Glenburn Road. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103224 |  | The John Muir Way heads across to the Union Canal from New Hallglen Road. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions | |
| 103223 |  | The road towards Callendar Woods at New Hallglen Road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103222 |  | The path from the Westquarter Glen meets up with New Hallglen Road. The nearest sign for the HArTT cycle route is at #102843. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 103221 |  | The path alongside the Westquarter Burn suddenly gets rather steep for the climb back up to New Hallglen Road. More like a mountain biking route than a local cycle network route! | Track: Problem track | |
| 103220 |  | A new bridge over the Westquarter Burn for access to a new housing development. Imagine if that sort of money had been spent on the path! | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103219 |  | A new bridge for access to a new housing development, crossing the Westquarter Burn and path. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103218 |  | The path alongside the Westquarter Burn. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103164 |  | End of the asphalt as the path heads towards the Westquarter Burn. | Track: Problem track | |
| 103163 |  | A sign for the HArTT cycle route pointing towards Spinkhill (see #103160), but as the old railway bridge was removed (see #103161), a hair-pin bend path has been built up to New Hallglen Road to use its bridge instead. No indications whether cyclists should use the road or footway (see #103162). | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 103162 |  | No signs for the HArTT cycle route at the busy Redding Road Roundabout, nor any suggestion that the footway may be shared use. Plenty of space, but just an ordinary narrow footway. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 103161 |  | A track that used to lead to a bridge that the HArTT cycle route used to cross the railway line. However, the bridge has been removed, leaving only the New Hallglen Road bridge to cross by. The HArTT cycle route sign at #103163 can be seen across the railway line. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103160 |  | Tiny signs for the HArTT cycle route below another sign at Spinkhill. Are people really expected to notice these? | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 103136 |  | Exciting to spot Sauchiehall Street's new 'avenue' taking shape in Glasgow. 👀 🎉 🚶♀️🚲🌳🚌🚙 🚶♀️ Just couldn't help noticing the state of what appears to be the final cycle surface, in contrast to the new mirror-smooth machine laid carriageway. #judderJudder t.co/ez3DIB5LcB | Roadworks: Infrastructure roadworks | |
| 103086 |  | Signage for the HArTT cycle route on Spinkhill, directing cyclists going to the Helix and Kelpies through the Westquarter Glen. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103085 |  | Steps down into the Westquarter Glen. Maybe next time I'm in the area I'll explore the other options the HArTT cycle route could have taken. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103084 |  | More steps on the path through the Westquarter Glen. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103083 |  | Steps on the path through the Westquarter Glen. Not what you'd expect on a signed cycle route. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103082 |  | A waterfall on the Westquarter Burn. A nice path for a walk, but there's a surprise for cyclists following the signed HArTT cycle route just around the next bend. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103081 |  | The path up the Westquarter Glen. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103080 |  | The path up the Westquarter Glen. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 103079 |  | From the bridge across the Westquarter Burn (see #103078), the HArTT cycle route is signed along the lower path along the west bank. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103078 |  | The HArTT cycle route crosses the Westquarter Burn. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103077 |  | The HArTT cycle route turning into the Westquarter Glen proper. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103076 |  | The local path crossing the path to the Westquarter Glen and HArTT cycle route is built to a better standard than the main path. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103075 |  | A sudden change in path surface quality, and it gets worse further on. See also #103074. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns | |
| 103074 |  | The destination sign points to the HArTT cycle route's destinations of Callendar Park and the Falkirk Wheel as being up the path to Ash Grove but the HArTT cycle route badge points right along the path to the Westquarter Glen. See also #103075. | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 103073 |  | Really not the end of the cycle route, which continues across the road crossing. If there were special regulations like on a motorway an 'end of cycle path regulations' sign would be appropriate, but it isn't like that. | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 103072 |  | With all these 'End of Cycle Route' signs, it is difficult to tell where the HArTT route continues! | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
