Newly installed cycle racks outside the top end of High Chelmer Shopping Centre. Plenty of them in this location & nicely spaced apart.

I large covered cycle parking within the grounds of B&Q, not sure why they have it, if it was there before B&Q? but is disused & a dumping ground for the company. be interested to know why its there.

Cycle parking at McDonalds, for their customers only.

Cycle parking, hidden away now Costa has been built & only cycle parking in whole shopping complex so lots of walking if you want shops on the other side.

Hilly fields access point from Sussex Road end. Barriers havent been changed like the other end as shown in cycle.st/p52279

Nice if they did this one too.

Hilly Fields Access point from Sheepen Road end. Barriers have been changed & now easier to get through tho still a struggle with the uphill climb.
Shame they didnt do other end as shown in cycle.st/p52280

Homebase, Toll Gate, Colchester. Has good cycle parking in size, unfortunately they block it with shop displays or is cluttered up with uncollected trolleys. Complaints havent made a difference too.

Cycle Parking, Sainsbury at Priory Walk, Colchester. Good amount for the size of the store.

Other view of cycle lane on Turner Road, can clearly see Buses parking over it than wait for a clear spot at the bus spot.

Aldi, has some good Cycle parking. Only issue I have is that you have to walk across the entrance/exit of car park & the cars do turn into the car park too quick.

The Range, Cowdray Ave. The only cycle parking constantly blocked by their shop displays they use 2 parking bays for. Despite no. of complaints nothing gets done.

Turner road approach to roundabout, cycle lane just stops at traffic lights & no ASL to help go right at roundabout. Also Bus stop on left & buses can cut across in front of cyclist entering &/or leaving it.

A so called shared path, put in by Council & will be a place of conflict with pedestrians. Time Councils & Sustrans got their act together.

Abell Way, where the Authorities allow the residents to park across the cycle path than have to put their cars in own drive/garage or even park on the road. Cycle network completely useless on this & adjoining roads due to this behaviour.

Going down Lonebarn Link into Abell Way, the authorities have put these filled sewer pipes in to stop road being used as a through road & a rat run for HGVs. Problem is they have completely blocked cycle path & partially blocked pedestrian path. No decent lighting to so at night they are completely hidden in the dark. Totally dangerous & easily could've been done as a reflective bollard.
