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]
I think the red section of the road indicates car parking - is that right @CambsCops? @camcitco? @CambsCC? Scotland Road. #cycling @camcycle https://t.co/J5mvszi8cw Note: this is actually Green End 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]
Christ's Pieces Location: , Cambridge (England, United Kingdom) Cycling signed as not permitted on Christ's Pieces but restrictions are widely disregarded away from the main path, without causing any apparent problems.
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
Huge 20mph marking for this tiny lane - it'd be better to close it to motor vehicles except for access and open it to two-way cycling, especially if a crossing could be arranged to link to the Sheep's Green cycle route (at rear).

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]
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.
I'm sorry, just WOW! This guy showing that there are few barriers to active travel as he rides one-legged through Ditton Meadows. He's carrying a crutch on his left side for when he needs to stop. This is bow-down unmitigated awesomeness … [more]

See clip at https://youtu.be/oXCgMDMWlZw The road space between the lights on Tenison Road (for Devonshire Road) along to turning right into St Barnabas Road is far too small for overtaking, and so is the first section of St Barnabas Road … [more]
See clip at https://youtu.be/HE_pxj8pM1U. Probably ought to go out to control (or primary) position in ASL box to stop this kind of nonsense. However, it's possibly best to have driver behaviour of this poor (and illegal) quality ahead not … [more]
See clip at https://youtu.be/G5Xe6uidDCY. Take great care here as speeding buses are quite regular. There's a 15mph speed limit here for several reasons including that large vehicles and people cycling merge into a narrow space. … [more]
See clip at https://youtu.be/994rQ4Lj7jI Although I'm making the point that this is very poor driving, there is an argument that the road design here leads to this behaviour. I've seen this happen a lot here. Passing to Close Highway code … [more]

Barton Rd cycle path - difficult crossing at Grange Rd. Busy, poor visibility, obstructed by emerging vehicles.
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]

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]
Full Picture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8V93-j0xb4gS181VDZMUFFqNDA/edit?usp=sharing I just crossed over the road at a toucan crossing and cycled up the road towards my left turn. Usually around half way up I hear the crossing stop … [more]
It's a 3-points-on-your-license for this offence. Although it's another example of how people driving get away with traffic offences as this simply isn't policed. The police say they are far too busy to prosecute these style of offences. … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/LBqgmY9Bn_M Although this is a cracking example, I don't see this happening very often. As such although I'd rather it didn't happen, I'm less bothered by it than when bollards are set that stop this behaviour. … [more]

See clip at http://youtu.be/fzNADIGVE0c The existence of a cycle lane does not mean rules 213 and 163 can be ignored. The reasons for those rules are still valid. Passing to Close Highway code rule 213. Motorcyclists and cyclists may … [more]

See clip at http://youtu.be/1jXsW6McuuE This illegal parking in the contraflow cyclelane is considered very dangerous. And the real stupidity of it is the empty parking bay opposite. Loading/Unloading Exemptions (backed up in law). Yellow … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/fxOI06To4k4 Notice as the clip ends the amount of space to pass on a clear road. Simply impatience, a lack of concern for human life, valuing a few sconds of their time more. Arguably, this is at least … [more]
