| 102200 |  | Not a lot of cycle parking at the new entry building for Newnham College. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 102199 |  | This may be a new segregated link. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 102198 |  | Very odd to have a Closed to Through Traffic sign at the closed end of a dead-end road - there's access for bikes, but the road isn't closed to them anyway. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 102197 |  | No, Cranmer Road is not closed - this is the only access to a dead-end road, and there's plenty of room for bikes and indeed cars too. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 102195 |  | Bollards on St. Mary’s Street | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 102184 |  | Despite the hot dry summer (or maybe because of it?) these roots are getting worse for cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 102183 |  | Delivery van blocking the mandatory cycle lane. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 102182 |  | No Overtaking Cyclists past these roadworks - which were cleared away by 1.30pm on a Friday. | Roadworks: Good practice roadworks |
| 102181 |  | Privatisation of the pavement/footway - no concern for the crowds heading to and from the station. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 102175 |  | Gates here too. The spacing of each looks OK but I'm less sure about the width from the wooden bollards either side of the gate in the foreground. See #93346 | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 102154 |  | Guided busway 2 fire engines heading long road. @Cambslive t.co/cjHlS7pj9C They were attending a cyclist fatality see #102153. | Road environment: Event road |
| 102153 |  | Cyclist killed on busway twitter.com/RailfutureEA/status/1040316075949346816 www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-45514309 www.cambs.police.uk/news-and-appeals/Appeal-fatal-collision We are appealing for witnesses after a man was killed in a collision with a bus yesterday (13 September). The collision happened at about 4.50pm on the guided busway in Long Road, Cambridge, adjacent to the Clare College playing fields. The cyclist, a man, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Anyone who witnessed the collision should contact the Road Policing Unit on 101 quoting CC-13092018-0340. | Road environment: Event road |
| 102146 |  | Overgrown footpath, blocked by noses of vehicles breaching the car park boundary. | Track: Problem track |
| 102145 |  | Bike used to advertise bookshop. | Bicycle: Misc bicycles |
| 102144 |  | The solar system on a bike wheel, exhibited at Plurabelle books during the Cambridge Festival of Cycling. | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 102142 |  | Protected footway access to City Council offices and some cycle parking. Most of the other businesses on the industrial estate have no such features. | Track: Good practice track |
| 102141 |  | Covered but wheelbenders staff cycle parking at the bus depot. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 102124 |  | This bit of the development only leads to the cycleway and so it appears the speed bump has been specifically put there to slow down cyclists. See #102123. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 102123 |  | Hump and wheelbenders First time I've seen these humps, they weren't there at #93924. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 102122 |  | Still closed more than a year after a bus crashed into here, see #90792 | Road environment: Problem road |
| 102119 |  | Sad ofo - reported to @ofosupport The other bike reported to www.cambridge.gov.uk/report-an-abandoned-bike | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 102118 |  | Intermittent cycle parking PLEASE NOTE (bold capitals, the rest is capitals too but too painful for me to do that to you) The users of this bicycle rack do so at their own risk. The management will not accept liability for accidents, damage or loss incurred. Bicycle rack is removed at close of business. | Cycle parking: Event cycleparking |
| 102113 |  | Cambridge Festival of Cycling display, for the Wheels Through Time exhibition in the Cambridgeshire Collection. | General sign/notice: Event signs |
| 102078 |  | The best kind of people carrier! | Bicycle: Good practice bicycles |
| 102016 |  | Progress on the development of this street corner with the appearance of four more racks, which with the two shown at #101933 make a total of 12 cycle parking spaces. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 101965 |  | Unusual wheel holder seemingly fixed to the footway. The groove is a bit too wide and a bit too shallow for a typical cycle wheel, so perhaps this is for some of powered two-wheeler. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 101964 |  | Sign related to #101963 | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 101963 |  | Looks like a protected car parking space, procured, somehow, by the local resident's association. It'd be nice if you could do this for cycle parking too... | Car storage: Infrastructure carstorage |
| 101933 |  | Work in progress on this corner of Cavendish Road / Mill Road. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 101930 |  | Rant at ‘cyclists’ who are ‘blocking’ the ‘entire pavement’ and a request to use racks 300 yards away. The challenge here is to change some of the residents' parking spaces to accommodate cycles. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 101929 |  | Rant at ‘cyclists’ who are ‘blocking’ the ‘entire pavement’ and a request to use racks 300 yards away. The challenge here is to change some of the residents' parking spaces to accommodate cycles. See detail of the poster at #101930. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 101928 |  | University Hotel bikes trapped underground. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 101927 |  | More lockers have been added since I recorded the dark blue ones in 2016, see #84831. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 101926 |  | More lockers have been added since I recorded the dark blue ones in 2016, see #84831. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 101925 |  | The Alison Richard building. Same five years earlier #91977. | Destination: Good practice destinations |
| 101922 |  | A Gormley on the Sedgwick site. | Bicycle: Good practice bicycles |
| 101911 |  | Hotel Bikes Brakes needed tightening on these two when I tried them the levers went all the way back against the handlebars. Also there were signs asking people to 'refrain' from attaching their bikes to the nearby railings. | Bicycle: Misc bicycles |
| 101740 |  | Racks well used by people of all ages as Cambridge United host Exeter City. Result: 0-2. Attendance 3662 of which 241 were away supporters. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 101711 |  | Removal of bike parking here - but apparently to be replaced with 12 spaces. www.cambridge.gov.uk/cavendish-road-public-art-consultation camcycle.cyclescape.org/threads/2818 These racks originally replaced 3 spaces back in October 2004. www.cyclestreets.net/location/6025/ | Cycle parking: Event cycleparking |
| 101625 |  | Dead trees, ivy strewn, collapsing into the Love Lane path. Particularly hazardous at night. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 101613 |  | Can a landowner legally threaten to remove a bike on the public highway, locked to their railing? | Cycle parking: Misc cycleparking |
| 101316 |  | Racks for the “centre” on the other side of the road - according to the signs. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 101289 |  | Grantchester Meadows path. Thistles and nettles growing out of the fence by 1m. These will reach half way across the new narrow shared path, visible in the background. Narrow paths, encroachment by vegetation, these are not new problems. Why are we still building shared paths like this? [Update - this work was started without any consultation or public announcement, and especially without any reference to the Greenways project. Madness. It was stopped after local protests.] | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 101288 |  | Grantchester Meadows path. New 1.5m wide path under construction, tight to the fence. This will be just as unsatisfactory as the existing narrow path alongside Skater's Fen. Why such a narrow path when there is so much space available? And whatwill be done to prevent people from parking on it? [Update - this work was started without any consultation or public announcement, and especially without any reference to the Greenways project. Madness. It was stopped after local protests.] | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 101287 |  | It was a massive wrench for many cyclists in Cambridge when Ben Hayward's closed their doors for the last time in January 2017. In our latest post we relate the story of one particular bike sold by the firm that has particular relevance to our visitors... t.co/qSxJaxdNHJ t.co/vQS7VMRiNV | Bicycle: Good practice bicycles |

| 101285 |  | One of the bikes from Cambridge's infamous 1993 Green bike scheme on display at the Folk Museum. See also #101287. www.iankitching.me.uk/history/cam/old/green-bike.html The sticker on the bike reads: CAMBRIDGE COMMUNITY BIKE SCHEME This cycle has been provided in good working order, free of charge for your use. The scheme accepts no responsibility for damage or personal injury. Check roadworthiness before use. Problem report line - 416577 | Bicycle: Event bicycles |

| 101282 |  | Cambridge CyclePoint - a.k.a "Cycle what's the point" | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 101202 |  | The ongoing struggle to stop commuters and language students from using workplace cycle parking (NB at 19.30). | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 101190 |  | There seems to be something in the way of the beautiful view along the Backs. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 101165 |  | Clear shortage of cycle parking at Calverley’s, but space for cycle parking | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 101164 |  | Clear shortage of cycle parking at Calverley’s | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 101162 |  | #Eddington #cyclepath signage overkill. This, whilst attempting to be very accurate, looks quite silly and does create a poor visual experience. t.co/zNlV9S7EPs | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 101145 |  | Cavendish Road Measurements left to right in metres, accurate to 0.05m 1.75m Pavement 1.10m On carriageway car storage (full bay width 1.9m overhanging footway by 0.80m) 2.95m Available carriageway between car storage areas 1.80m On carriageway car storage (does not extend onto footway) 1.75m Pavement 9.45m Total 5.85m Total carriageway | Road environment: Infrastructure road |

| 100723 |  | Sign trying to keep cycle parking opposite Cambridge station free for retail customers (and overnight) - it mentions the covered cycle park but should give better directions, as the people wanting to leave their bikes here are probably the ones who haven't yet found it (and the use of 'commuters' is inexact too). | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 100615 |  | Sheffield racks on Station Square are being designated as being for shop and cafe users rather than for people catching trains. I hope it works. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 100557 |  | Bus service on Mill Road | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100399 |  | Thoday Street racks. City rangers have helpfully cleared away an abandoned bike that was looking a mess. I've now asked them to remove the two old locks that are attached to the rack. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 100355 |  | Poorly parked cycles combined with the camber of the buildout means these bikes have spread onto the footway. The look untidy and cause an obstruction. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 100354 |  | Hills Road | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100353 |  | Future link to the busway, presumably | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |

| 100347 |  | Plenty of cycle stands here | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 100346 |  | No Entry Except Buses sign should also read 'and Cycles', of course. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 100345 |  | Someday this may form part of a 'strategic cycleway' on the west side of Hobson's brook. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |

| 100340 |  | Cycle route from Addenbrooke's Road to Hobson's Park | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 100339 |  | Big barriers to keep cyclists from going down steps - but why on earth did they build steps here in the middle of nowhere? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 100317 |  | This is what Mill Road looks like when England are playing a knock-out game in the World Cup finals - no motor vehicles, a few cyclists - but it could be like this all the time with a closure near the railway bridge. | Road environment: Event road |
| 100316 |  | This is what Mill Road looks like when England are playing a knock-out game in the World Cup finals - no motor vehicles, a few cyclists - but it could be like this all the time with a closure near the railway bridge. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100309 |  | New infill housing development off Mill Road, Cambridge - they seem to have car spaces and bin stores but there's no sign of cycle parking. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 100308 |  | Rising bollards at entry to new infill housing development with no cycle parking visible. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 100307 |  | Student accommodation by the new Cambridge mosque - does anyone really think this will be enough cycle parking? | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 100288 |  | Mill Road butchers | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 100276 |  | Congestion Charging is coming to Cambridge - or at least to its car parks. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 100275 |  | I've never seen it so bad here - at least 14 selfish drivers blocking the passing places, lots of reversing and waiting when cars were trying to come in and out. It's more important as a cycle route, in theory. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 100176 |  | Collapsing trench and pothole on Hills Road, Cambridge | Pothole: Problem potholes |
| 100146 |  | Ofo bikes and cycle lockers at Madingley Road Park n Ride | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare |
| 100145 |  | The official vision of cycle space on the new Thameslink Class 700 trains (see #100135). | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 100135 |  | If there's a pram/buggie by the fold-up seats on the new Thameslink Class 700 trains that's it, there's no dedicated cycle space. Just use the doorways as normal in this area. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 100134 |  | A full-length (12-carriage) Thameslink Class 700 train, and this was the only cycle marker I could see, Inside the space is pretty useless - most cyclists will just use the nearest door space as usual in this area. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 100127 |  | Sink hole in Mill Road! | Road environment: Problem road |
| 100126 |  | New pub, Old Ticket Office, at the station ‘square’ at Cambridge Station | Destination: Misc destinations |
| 100124 |  | Good to see the approach to the sluice fixed - but how long before it starts to subside again? | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 100035 |  | 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 languages | Destination: Misc destinations |

| 100028 |  | Jesus Green People path | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 100003 |  | Not a clever installation of this bike hangar, or perhaps not a clever place to allow a motor vehicle to park. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 100000 |  | New Museums Site cycle parking double decker racks, some in a gated access area. See also #2553. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
