How many of you had noticed there were at least 4 bikes painted on this wall? I hadn't. May try for a better photo when lockdown is over. Hard to get a good picture of this wall through the railings. ETA: the wall is blank now as the … [more]
The cost of poorly maintained cycling infrastructure... Frame snapped in two at the bottom bracket, from the battering it receives from Newnham's potholes.
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.
Some ancient infra that looks like it's close to collapse in parts. Needs removal as it's no longer compatible with current cycle sizes (cargo bikes can't pass each other here).
Very narrow access. Blocks most cargo bikes on a main school access route (that's the school ahead on the right with a gate access about 100m ahead on THIS PATH).
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]
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]
Traffic and tranquility Location: Cambridge (England, United Kingdom) The path across Coe Fen, with nose to tail traffic on Trumpington Street beyond
October mist at Coe Fen Technically a public footpath, as are almost all of Cambridge's traffic free cycle routes. The bridge was closed for several months for re-painting. It is a shame that it was not widened or a parallel cycle bridge … [more]
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]
Just before the start of what I believe was the inaugural Outspoken bicycle powered cinema event. We all took turns providing electricity for the film to run. These are two of the five bikes involved. It was nearly full when it got going, … [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]
The narrow cycle lanes on Huntingdon Road don't leave much space between heave vehicles and cyclists and coaches and lorries can feel intimidating.
Cambridge Cycling Campaign Stall Bike in an event to support the proposed hybrid cycle lanes on Huntingdon Road at the junction with Sherlock Road.

See clip at http://youtu.be/89AFT7Fki9Q As I say in the clip, Cambridge Institute of Astronomy does provide well for cycling to work here and through routes. It's just that their approach to new development seems to be stuck in an era … [more]
A Christmas tree on a bike. Taking home a seven foot Christmas tree on a tandem, with the rear saddle removed. Location on NCR51, see also #54457 .
See clip at http://youtu.be/cDxEk38u598 I gather this is a new courier cargo bike quite a bit lighter than their previous jumbo carrier. Just imagine what can get delivered in Cambridge by this monster.
See clip at http://youtu.be/j3vrcIvnKeM The lorry possibly does fit into the last exemption of the 1988 RTA section 21. I just want to show why sometimes what seems like plenty of space (in common sense parlance, an indicator of failing to … [more]
Inders Kitchen (https://www.inderskitchen.com), a Cambridge-based Indian Takeaway, does delivery by bike. This deserves a massive thumbs-up as a great solution to our town's traffic issues. (Note the ASL infringement ahead as well!)

The Leisure Park could be anywhere in the world. With its uninspired buildings, chain cinemas, chain restaurants, shops and gym there is no sign of Cambridge, except for the lovely willow baskets on the bikes.
Plenty of car parking spaces on this estate on Rustat Road on a Sunday morning. But there seems to be a shortage of secure bike parking...
A better video is at #47385 Cambridgeshire County Council's quad bike gritter in action on Midsummer Common on Saturday the 26th of January 2013. De-icing fluid was being emitted. After whizzing around the common's path the quad went … [more]
