In the distance, building works have closed Regent Terrace. See later photos for closer views

An inconsiderately-placed sign ON the cycle path at Gonville Place. A cyclist approaching from Gresham Road had no warning that the cycle route was blocked by a sign (albeit temporary). But surely whoever put it up realised it was blocking a cycle route?

Bollard on narrow stretch of City Road where it joins Prospect Row by the Free Press (pub on left). Bollard and kerbs make this an awkward corner.

Bollard on narrow stretch of City Road near Free Press. Is this really needed and could it be positioned better?

Three different bollards at the eastern end of the Carter Bridge. From the left: an old wooden one, a relatively recent white painted concrete one and an old metal one.

Three old wooden bollards on Gresham Road. The red bands are wearing away and at night these are almost invisible.

Two concrete bollards have been removed and new, white, ones added with clear markings, instead.

Obstruction still to be removed at the western end of the Carter cycle bridge at the junction with Devonshire Road. Nice new markings and bollards.

Obstruction still to be removed from the western end of the Carter Bridge approach at Devonshire Road. New bollards and markings are an improvement.

New bollards at approach to Carter cycle bridge from Devonshire Road. But an obstruction still needs removing.

Approaching Rustat Road from Carter Bridge showing bollards and road markings.

Bollards on Carter Bridge, approaching Devonshire Road. The curve of the route round to the right makes the left-hand gap feel even narrower, exacerbated by overhanging vegetation.

Junction of Rustat Road and Carter Bridge showing bollards, road markings and 'give way' sign.

Bollards with reflective inserts, made by Glasdon. They looked like wood but I think may have been recycled plastic. On cut-through from Cherry Hinton Road to Bullen Close.

CyclePoint Cambridge, first floor parking area almost full mid-afternoon on Wednesday 2nd March 2016

CyclePoint, Cambridge station. First floor almost full at about 3 p.m on Wednesday 2nd March 2016.

Access to station from cycle park (and car park) shared with pedestrians and not very wide. There's more space to the right but it was fenced off on 23 January 2016.

Route from temporary cycle park. There's plenty of space, on the right, for a decent width cycle path rather than making cyclists share with pedestrians. Okay the space may be used for building work sometimes but it wasn't in use on Saturday 23 January 2016.

Missing and broken cycle racks at Cambridge Station temporary cycle park on 23 January 2016 making secure parking difficult.

Missing cycle racks at Cambridge Station temporary cycle parking on 23 January 2016 resulting in many poorly-parked bikes.

Start of route to temporary cycle parking at Cambridge station on 23 January 2016. Path shared with pedestrians but at least there is a sign.

There is a proposal for a loading bay here, outside 103 Mill Road, currently Mickey Flynns. Is there really space?

Tailgate of Biovest Logistics delivery vehicle blocking cycle route 9am Friday 4th July 2014. The driver didn't think he was causing an obstruction. I think his parking was inconsiderate and potentially a hazard as the tailgate was not very obvious as one approached from Gonville Place

The tailgate of this Biovest Logistics delivery vehicle is blocking the exit from the cycle path. To avoid it cyclists have to use the pedestrian path.

Worn markings on shared use path at corner of Parkside and Park Terrace. These were renewed in February 2014.

Junction of Clarendon St, Parkside (on left) and Parker St. The blue sign indicates the cycle route going diagonally across the junction onto the pavement alongside Parkside. Straight on is prohibited for all vehicles, including cyclists.

When the trading pitches were being reviewed Cambridge Cycling Campaign said that this one needed to be further to the east, away from the end of Regent Terrace and the junction with Regent Street, so that people being served - this photo was taken on my way to work at 9:13am so there is no queue - do not obstruct cyclists. See camcycle.cyclescape.org/threads/728 and photos #51155 & #51156

This ice-cream van is parked too close to the junction with Regent St. Cambridge Cycling Campaign wrote to the City Council when the trading pitches were being reviewed saying the pitch needed to be sited further east. See camcycle.cyclescape.org/threads/728

Cycle route across Parker's Piece closed off at Parkside for The Big Weekend at 8:30pm on Friday 5th July 2013.

Trial of new lighting on Parker's Piece, looking back towards Parkside. The white light near the top of the photo is the new tall lamp standard. The white thing in the foreground is the sign explaining the trial.

Trial of new lighting on Parker's Piece. Looking towards Reality Checkpoint. The silver bollard in the foreground sinks into the ground during the day but has already stopped casting light!

New lighting being trialled on Parker's Piece. Looking towards Reality Checkpoint - the horizontal band of lights. In the foreground is the new tall lamp standard, further away the waist-high bollards.

Trial of lighting on Parker's Piece, looking towards the Catholic Church. The three lights to the right of the photo are Reality Checkpoint. The white one high up is the tall lamp standard installed as part of the trial.

Bus turning into Hills Road from station access road doesn't leave much space for bikes. Perhaps the pavement should be narrowed to allow for a cycle lane? Or perhaps there could be a cycle route separated from the road by a bit of pavement.

Flooding on Jesus Green - in July! Not a major obstruction but care needed.

More cycle parking needed during examination periods. Overcrowding in the racks outside the Department of Zoology.

Cycle bridge for sale?

Are they really selling off the cycle bridge? Nothing on their website, must be round the corner...

Traffic queueing on Radegund Road near the entrance to the school, which has closed its car park, so vehicles have to park on the road to drop off pupils. The problem will probably disappear when the school term ends, but at the moment it is exacerbated as the Citi 2 bus has been rerouted along Radegund Road while part of Mill Road is closed.

Congestion at the eastern end of Radegund Road with traffic queuing back onto the Perne Road roundabout. The school carpark has been closed so vehicles are parking in Radegund Road to drop off children. With cars parked on both sides it is hard for a van to get through.

A plethora of signs at roadworks on Mill Road. See photo #24024 for a close-up and photo #24023 for an earlier sign about the roadworks

The earlier sign #24023 on Mill Road said "Cyclists Access as usual" but at the actual road closure this one says "Cyclists Please Dismount and Use Footpath". In practice the footpath is reasonably wide and only a short stretch of road is closed so it is possibly to safely cycle past the roadworks.

Wow, a cyclist-friendly sign at road works on Mill Road. There's a photo #24024 of the next sign as well.

The reflective strips on the black-painted gate at the exit from Parker's Piece show up well in the flash from a camera. Otherwise the gate is almost invisible. Visible or not, it narrows considerable the route on and off Parker's Piece, for both cyclists and pedestrians.

Heating embedded in the ramp of the cycle bridge keeps it clear of snow and ice

The heated ramp on the cycle bridge is effective - shame about the snow and slush on Rustat Road

Regent St looking south. The rising bollard to restrict traffic coming into the City Centre came into operation on 21st May 2008 and the unsatisfactory cycle bypass which had been closed was reopened, though the problems remain

Regent St looking south: new closure point and rising bollard for northbound traffic, new bus and cycle lane and very unsatisfactory cycle bypass lane

Bollards on Riverside at approach to new cycle bridge

Funny sort of bicycle! At least it has two wheels... but how does one ride it?

Bollards on Riverside at approach to new cycle bridge. The no motor vehicles sign could do with reflective bands to make it more visible at night
