| 109935 |  | Signpost on the "Thicket Path" between St Ives and Houghton, stating "considerate cycling welcomed". This confirms that cycling is permitted despite the absence of the usual "shared-use cycle/footway" signs. See #109934 for a wider view. Location is approximate: this sign is next to the skittle bollards about mid-way between St Ives and Houghton. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 109934 |  | Signpost on the "Thicket Path" between St Ives and Houghton, stating "considerate cycling welcomed". This confirms that cycling is permitted despite the absence of the usual "shared-use cycle/footway" signs. See #109935 for a close-up of the sign.

| 109620 |  | This is a (relatively) safe crossing point where cyclists can cross the A505 one lane at a time using a large central refuge. This is NCN 11 leading south to Duxford. The damaged safety fencing gives an indication of how fast drivers go along the A505 here (the speed limit is 60mph). See www.cyclestreets.net/location/109616-109620/ Unfortunately a recent housing development has removed direct cycle access to this crossing point. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 109619 |  | This is the southern end of a short cul-de-sac off Moorfield Road, Whittlesford, close to the A505. Slightly hidden behind a large bush (near where the cab of that passing lorry is) is a safe crossing point where cyclists can cross the A505 one lane at a time using a large central refuge. This is NCN 11 leading south to Duxford. See www.cyclestreets.net/location/109616-109620/ Note the lack of a dropped kerb on the desire line. This needs to be fixed by installing a dropped kerb on the desire line, allowing cyclists to get to and from the safe crossing point. This would still be more than 10m from the A505 so there is plenty of space to add give way markings and signs to avoid the possibility of southbound cyclists failing to give way when they reach the A505. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 109618 |  | View of a short cul-de-sac off Moorfield Road, Whittlesford that leads towards a safe cycle/pedestrian crossing point where cyclists can cross the A505 one lane at a time using a large central refuge. This is NCN 11. You can see the crossing point that cyclists need to get to (or come from, when heading north) in the middle of the photo (just before where the rear wheel of that passing car is), and the lack of a dropped kerb on the desire line. This needs to be fixed by installing a dropped kerb on the desire line, allowing cyclists to get to and from the safe crossing point. This would still be more than 10m from the A505 so there is plenty of space to add give way markings and signs to avoid the possibility of southbound cyclists failing to give way when they reach the A505. See www.cyclestreets.net/location/109616-109620/ | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 109617 |  | View from Moorfield Road, Whittlesford looking down a short stub of road that leads towards a safe cycle/pedestrian crossing point where cyclists can cross the A505 one lane at a time using a large central refuge. This is NCN 11. However in August 2019 this stub of road was reconstructed as part of a housing development, and a cycleway which was on the left-hand side has been removed. This means that the only way to get to the safe crossing point is to cycle down this stub of road (which is fine) and then bump over a full-height kerb. This needs to be fixed by installing a dropped kerb at the far end of this stub of road, allowing cyclists to get to and from the safe crossing point. See www.cyclestreets.net/location/109616-109620/ | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 109616 |  | View from Moorfield Road, Whittlesford looking south towards the A505 junction (a staggered cross-roads beyond which a continuation of Moorfield Road leads to Duxford). This is NCN 11. The short stub of road to the right leads towards a cycle/pedestrian crossing point which allows cyclists to cross the A505 one lane at a time using a large central refuge. However in August 2019 the short stub of road to the right was reconstructed and a cycleway which was on the left-hand side of that road has been removed.

| 106274 |  | Cycles outside a restaurant near Breda Airport. On the wall is an e-bike charging point. The sign above it (zoom in the original to read it) says, in Dutch "Charging point uses solar energy". | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking | |

| 68244 |  | Contraflow cycle lane in Harvest Way, Cambridge blocked by builders' hoardings. There's an even wider obstruction a few metres beyond. The yellow notice says "CYCLE LANE CLOSED PLEASE USE HARVEST WAY ROAD" (sic) Note the one-way sign on the left doesn't have a cycle exemption plate. | Other: Misc general | |
| 62599 |  | St Anna Pedestrian/Cycle Tunnel in Antwerp is 572m long and runs under the River Scheldt. There are lifts and escalators at each end. This is a general view of the river taken from near the western portal, showing the historic city centre on the other side. There are no bridges across the River Scheldt anywhere in Antwerp. The only way to cross is by road or tram tunnel, or by this pedestrian/cycle tunnel. Gallery: www.cyclestreets.net/location/62587-62599/ | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 62598 |  | St Anna Pedestrian/Cycle Tunnel in Antwerp is 572m long and runs under the River Scheldt. There are lifts and escalators at each end. These signs show the rules for using the tunnel. Gallery: www.cyclestreets.net/location/62587-62599/ Top right is "no vehicles except for cycles". Bottom right is a speed limit of 5km/h (less than walking pace) which has been covered over with a limit of 10km/h (which is still a very slow cycling speed). | Other: Infrastructure general | |

This is the entrance to the lift on the western side of the river. Gallery: www.cyclestreets.net/location/62587-62599/ | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 62596 |  | St Anna Pedestrian/Cycle Tunnel in Antwerp is 572m long and runs under the River Scheldt. There are lifts and escalators at each end. This is the entrance building on the western side of the river, serving a predominantly residential area. Gallery: www.cyclestreets.net/location/62587-62599/ | Other: Infrastructure general | |

| 62590 |  | St Anna Pedestrian/Cycle Tunnel in Antwerp is 572m long and runs under the River Scheldt. There are lifts and escalators at each end. This shows the inside of the huge lifts (which would be easily big enough to hold at least twenty bikes) Gallery: www.cyclestreets.net/location/62587-62599/ | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 62589 |  | St Anna Pedestrian/Cycle Tunnel in Antwerp is 572m long and runs under the River Scheldt. There are lifts and escalators at each end.

| 55866 |  | Annular cycle lane on a busy roundabout. The lane didn't cross the side road entrances and exits, though. This fast cyclist ignored it completely. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 54467 |  | See also www.cyclestreets.net/location/54466/. Cyclists who want to stay on the road where the photographer is standing are prohibited from using the traffic signals, which are for buses only. (The loop detectors reportedly don't detect bikes anyway). Instead, cyclists have to ride on the pavement and make six right-angle turns whilst stopping and pressing the button to cross each lane of traffic on the side-road separately. | Other: Problem general | |
| 54466 |  | In this appalling piece of design, buses have a simple straight crossing of this minor estate access road, whereas cyclists have to join the pavement on the right. However there are no dropped kerbs on the obvious straight-ahead desire line. See www.cyclestreets.net/location/54467 to see how cyclists who want to head straight have to take a sharp right turn and use a two-stage pedestrian/cycle crossing before returning back onto the road. This is only a year or two old. Simply terrible. Note also how the blue sign on the right (which relates to an earlier layout) is totally wrong. | Other: Problem general | |
| 53755 |  | The covered, two-tier, cycle parking outside Derby station is closer to the entrance than the car parking is. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking | |
| 53512 |  | Signpost on the "DNA path" from Addenbrooke's to Great Shelford. The NCN 11 symbol has been obscured with this new logo, making it harder to see where NCN 11 goes. (And it's not just a paper sticker - it looks pretty permanent). | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 52428 |  | Roadworks completely block the cycle path, which mean that cyclists heading soutbound (towards the camera) and wishing to turn right towards the DNA path to Great Shelford (as this cyclists is doing), need to ride around the roundabout rather than turn right just before it, as they normally do. There is no signposting to advise cyclists of this. | Roadworks: Event roadworks | |
| 51367 |  | Cycle track alongside a relatively busy rural road in SW Finland. The Google Street view (which is exactly same location) shows the same road before the track was constructed, showing the land that must have been acquired to build it. Note the width (approx 3m I would say) and the smooth surface. Almost all cycle tracks in the area (and there were many) were of the same high quality. They had priority over side roads, of course. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 51366 |  | "Cycle barometer" outside Helsinki's main railway station. This displays the number of cyclists who have passed this point today (200 in this case) and displays the cumulative total as a "barometer". See also #51365 | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 51365 |  | "Cycle barometer" outside Helsinki's main railway station. This displays the number of cyclists who have passed this point today (198 in this case) and displays the cumulative total as a "barometer". See also #51366 | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 50030 |  | Recklessly-parked cycles on the path between Devonshire Road and the station. I've not seen this as bad as this before, with parked bikes making it impossible for even a cyclist and a pedestrian to pass (as I discovered when I cycled through a moment earlier). | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 50029 |  | New bridge (hopefully for cycles) under construction near Bedford Station which will provide an alternative to the existing underpass with a 4' 9" height restriction. (June 2013). See also #50028. Note that the footbridge shown at #20729 has been removed. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |

| 48104 |  | The Thicket Path from St Ives to Houghton has been widened and resurfaced along its central section. (March 2013) (There's a short section at the St Ives end which is still under construction, whilst a long section closer to Houghton is as bumpy and muddy as always - it's not obvious whether there are plans to improve that) | Other: Good practice general | |
| 47761 |  | Raised strips have been applied to the "boardwalk" under the railway bridge between Stourbridge Common and Ditton Meadows. The effect is to make your bike vibrate very uncomfortably as you ride over it. Update, two months later: These strips have now been removed following a mass of complaints. Hooray! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 47083 |  | A hot food van is now (Jan 2013) permanently parked in Abbey Street on the approach to the Toucan crossing across Newmarket Road, taking up more than half of the width of the road and forcing cyclists using this busy cycle route to ride underneath the open hatch cover. Customers being served food will also be forced to obstruct the cycle route. Gallery at www.cyclestreets.net/location/47080-47083/ | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
