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 … [more]
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 … [more]
Which would you choose? Sheffield stand or two tier racks It is a unanimous vote for Sheffield stands. Much more popular. Cycle parking in the basement of 50/60 Station Road.
Cambridge Rules 1848 Sculpture. Parker's Piece The rules of football were first written down in Cambridge in 1848. This new sculpture was unveiled in May 2018 to commemorate the event. It is inscribed with the rules in many different … [more]
Contraflow cycling Norwich Street, Cambridge Fantastic! Such a small, simple, but incredibly important breakthrough. No entry, except cycles... in the UK! Thank you to whoever is responsible.
Garret Hostel Bridge A rare shared use path with enough width to cycle comfortably. If the Cambridge News is to be believed the County want to stop allowing people to cycle on it over fears that a tourist will get bumped into the river
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 … [more]
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.
Midsummer Common Technically a public footpath, and rather too narrow for shared use. This is never the less a useful and attractive route.
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.
Child trailer on Gonville Place Why would you want to reduce traffic on a road like this? Gonville Place used to have cycle lanes but they were removed in order to create an additional traffic lane to allow more vehicles to queue at the … [more]
Carter Bridge Both the footway and cycleway are below recommended width, and this causes congestion in rush hour, but this is a very useful and popular crossing of the railway.
Steps really? In a purpose designed cycle park? Are there steps on the ramps for the car parking? Being serious, this is an irritation but doesn't really detract from what is otherwise a pretty good facility. I haven't come across any … [more]
Two storey racks They seem better quality and more robust than the previous racks in the temporary cycle park. The bottom tier are awkward to use for tall people like me but the top tier seem fine. There are Sheffield stands too for … [more]
A full size bicycle hangs off the Salisbury Arms pub. I think this is a nice idea - but the implementation is very shabby as the back wheel of the bike is strapped to a bracket and the seat is chained to the wall. The front wheel has a hub … [more]
There is an off road shared path for people who are not confident enough to ride in the road. Short crossings of entry and exit lanes are safer to use than previously - only 4m of tarmac to cross in one go as opposed to 18m before. More … [more]
House builders like using bicycles in their advertising, unfortunately the facilities on the ground often don't match this enthusiasm.

"Always wear a Helmet" when riding a Corona. Though official advice suggests that alcohol and cycling don't mix... Latin flavour bicycle with advertising.
Bicycle parked inside the Grafton Centre under threat to be removed by the shopping centre's security guards.
On Thursday 12 August 2010 a dropped handlebar (“Concept SL Race Bar alloy” and “Concept SL, Ahead, aluminium”) with a pair of brake leavers (“Shimano 105 Double with extra Tektro lever”) was removed from a black Focus Merluza Audax bike. … [more]
