| 186508 |  | It looks like the bike anchor point that was attached to the Empress Pub has been nicked! | Cycle parking: Event cycleparking |
| 186505 |  | Entrance to Chisholm Trail from Newmarket Road. Q: What signage is there here to suggest this route is prohibited for motor vehicles? A: All I can see here are a shared-use cycleway sign behind the fencing on the left. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |

| 186322 |  | Good morning, This morning I stopped to get a coffee at the new Gail's at the train station. The development in this area is great and is very attractive for commuters, but there is not enough bike parking for the shops and offices along station place. If people are to be able to use this area effectively there needs to be more appropriate places to lock bikes whilst making use of the facilities. Thank you for your consideration. Best wishes, Imogen | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 186275 |  | There isn't a good place to move from carriageway to the wide section of shared-use path in order to bypass vehicle queues for the lights and reach the cycle advance box (though there should be space on carriageway between the two lanes of vehicles). Lots of residential dropped kerbs, but none flush so oblique approach is hazardous. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 186274 |  | Dropped kerb to move from shared-use path to cycle advance box doesn't make it easy to get towards the far side of the box if turning right towards Fulbourn. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 186273 |  | The advisory cycle lane heading westwards here encourages close passes from cars, there often isn't space to pass safely, and the road surface is poor. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 186270 |  | 'Smart Junction' trial sensor at the top, bike sensor immediately above traffic lights, low-level bike repeater lights below main lights. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 186269 |  | CCTV (?) camera at the top | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 186268 |  | 'Smart Junction' trial sensor at the top, bike sensor immediately above traffic lights, low-level bike repeater below main lights. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 186236 |  | Signposted Love Lane cycle route ends at narrow not-shared footway with fence etc blocking direct access to the road. Uncontrolled 'crossing' is to the right. Car park is private land but a flush kerb into it would be a welcome improvement. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 186235 |  | Not on a signed cycle route (that's Love Lane nearby), but shown on the council cycle map. Multiple entrances to chipshop premises on the right. Very common to see bikes locked to the chicane, sometimes obstructing it, because there's no convenient bike parking for shop (Tesco then, Coop in future) or chipshop. No visibility splay to busy footway which is not shared-use. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 186234 |  | Disgraceful bit of highway engineering, with the lorry forced by the island into the end of the on-road cycle lane. Nothing here to help southbound cycles reaching the end of the off-road path. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 186184 |  | There are no bike racks in the vicinity. Lots of bikes are parked on the pathways impeding the passage | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 186155 |  | Pavement often blocked by cars opposite the Histon Road Rec entrance. Add bollards to stop drivers mounting it. | Track: Problem track |
| 186154 |  | Very useful cut-through for trips to and from Mayfield School, Roundabout and Histon Road Rec, but there is a lot of clutter at the Windsor Road end and it is difficult to use with a bike trailer or a cargo bike. | Track: Problem track |
| 186111 |  | Electric vehicle charging point on Riverside | Road environment: Infrastructure road |

| 186097 |  | Cracked surfacing to cycle path. Coton path bridge across the M11. West sound. This path is a disgrace, it was closed for 2 years in order to re-surface the bridge approach ramps and this is the state of them less than a year later. Easily wide enough to catch a wheel in the dark, an accident waiting to happen. #186096 | Pothole: Problem potholes |

| 185867 |  | Checking the scale: from the Earth the moon should just occlude the sun in this model of the solar system, see: #185866. | Destination: Event destinations |
| 185866 |  | The Moon as seen from the Earth is about the same size as the sun in the far distance. This checks that the scale of these objects is about right, as of course the moon just eclipses the sun. See #185867, and more science at: #185786. | Destination: Event destinations |

| 185786 |  | Projected orbits of the Our Place In Space model of the solar system in Cambridge, August 2022. These orbits are based on the distance between the sun on Midsummer Common and Saturn by the Chisholm Trail bridge at #185175. That distance is 2292 metres, and so using an orbital radius of 1443 million km gives a scale of 1:625 million - which is close to the value of 1:591 that they based it upon.

| 185433 |  | Clara Rackham Street, Cambridge | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 185432 |  | Link between Cavendish Place and Clara Rackham Street on the new development off Cromwell Road, Cambridge has opened today, 11 August 2022. There are temporary barriers in place because there are not yet any bollards, but it is possible to cycle through, and possibly enough width for a wheel chair. | Road environment: Event road |

| 185399 |  | Before this can be opened some kind of bollard is probably needed. | Road environment: Event road |
| 185226 |  | Cycle lanes on this road are unprotected so obviously fill up with parked cars. Upgrade this road to have protected bike paths so this can't happen | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 185223 |  | [Image taken in 2018] Queen Anne Terrace car park, Gonville Place, Cambridge CB1. [NOTE: No street view in this location] This cycle parking space is with others in the Queen Anne Terrace car park (www.cambridge.gov.uk/queen-anne-terrace-car-park). The Cambridgeshire County Council employee who provided the image said: "It has a floor anchor similar to those used for motorbike parking with a stencil of a cargo bike to make clear what it is for – this stops everyone else using these spaces which we try to put in the most convenient location, on the ground floor and near the entrance/exit." This all sounds like excellent practice. There's no mention of the cycle provision on the car park website, though. I will email to ask that this is changed. There's still a lack of understanding that families and people with mobility issues need cycle parking not simply car parking. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |

| 185087 |  | Continue this cycle path all the way along Eddington Avenue instead of it turning into a pavement halfway down this section of street | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 185084 |  | Fix the junction geometry so that cars are forced to slow and face the cycle path at right angles at the crossing. At the moment drivers have to look backwards over their left shoulder due to the angle between Turing Way and Eddington Ave | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 185083 |  | Add a cycle lane connection across this junction from Eddington Avenue -> Eddington Avenue northbound. Currently there are only connections for cars and pedestrians, both of which are confusing and dangerous to use when cycling | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 185082 |  | Convert Adams Road into a Dutch-style bicycle-street ('fietsstraat') i.e. priority for bikes, with cars as guests for access only. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 185081 |  | There is a chicane between Adams Road and the cycle way, with priority given to cars driving to Wilberforce Road. These priorities are wrong because the cycle way gets substantially more traffic than Wilberforce Rd. Suggest adding a modal filter between Adams Road and Wilberforce Rd, and removing the chicane. The chicane is also dangerous because sight-lines are blocked by a hedge, and cyclists often go too fast causing conflicts. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 185028 |  | Clara Rackham Street's connection to Cromwell Road should be OK for Chisholm Trail phase 2 if the proposed connection further south gets silly chicanes etc. | Other: Infrastructure general |

| 184976 |  | Nice bit of parking this morning forcing me to go head on with oncoming traffic or stop. I chose to stop, hence the photo.

There's a double yellow line there but it was overpainted with black but the black has worn out in places. See #150668. A leg of a zimmer frame walking aid is visible as I was returning it to Addenbrooke's Hospital. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
