Three bikes tagged outside the Co-Op in Mill Road. The tagging policy means that these bikes will be removed after two weeks. That is a rather generously long time as these tags bikes really do seem abandoned and will be an obstruction for … [more]
Four bikes tagged on the racks outside our home. These tags are added to the bikes after they have been reported as abandoned via the city council's website: https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/report-an-abandoned-or-missing-bike At this time of … [more]
Astonishing - there's a large car park but no cycle parking at all for Red Cross first aid courses at Lothbury House.
Not a good area to park a bike - 4 frames stripped of parts, and no-one actually daring to leave a bike.
Judging by the street view images these rows were bent between April and September 2021 - and so have been like this for at least 15 months: April 2021 … [more]
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 … [more]
There are no bike racks in the vicinity. Lots of bikes are parked on the pathways impeding the passage

No Cycles To Be Parked Cambridge Station 1992 Patrick Forman Life through the Lens At an exhibition in Michaelhouse 21 July 2022
We are desperately in need of more bike racks on Mill Road. As a business we are finding it increasingly hard to find spaces for our workers let alone our customers. Please could you work with the Mill Road Traders Association or even come … [more]
Abandoned bikes clog up the racks and get moved into awkward looking arrangements by others tyring to park their bikes.
Problems caused by abandoned bikes on racks where there is a high demand. The stickered bike and the blue bike have been unused for several weeks and have very low pressure in their tyres. The blue one was reported a month ago but the tag … [more]
One-sided cycle stands - there could be so much more space if they were fitted at an angle to the wall.
Every home in this otherwise exemplary development has a couple of bikes in the porch - where are the cycle stands?
Clare Hall cycle parking is a bit of a mess - and cycling is banned in the underground garage, while there isn't even a speed limit for cars.
Clare Hall cycle parking is a bit of a mess - and cycling is banned in the underground garage, while there isn't even a speed limit for cars.
A clear need for cycle stands in place of a car-parking space. Submitted to the Cambridge parking consultation, let's see what happens.
The pump at this workstand in front of Addenbrooke's main entrance did not work. The head unit would not grip the valve tightly and there was a tell tale leak of air that is so disheartening. I had to find my way to the on-campus bike shop … [more]
The rear of the St Regis (Clare College) development - cycle parking installed so that only one side is useable.
St Peter's Terrace, Cambridge - wheelbender cycle parking, and clearly plenty of demand for something better.
Grotty staff(?) cycle parking behind Primark. Doesn't look like it's secured to anything. (Also: the stonework that used to be on the Cambridge Co-Operative Society building.)
A minimal amount of cycle parking has been added since #13406 was taken, but the gateway is still too narrow for anything but a single person to get through.
With Park Street Cycle Park closed for rebuilding this is all the cycle parking there is in the immediate vicinity.
The bent rack has been removed following the report at #177377, the bikes that were on it have been stacked against the remaining rack.
Old locks accumulate. Three old rusty and broken locks have been reported at: https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/report-an-abandoned-or-missing-bike
More bike parking required at this very popular location as cyclist attach bikes to residents’ properties due to lack of space
Hopefully this annoying abandoned bike will be gone soon now that it has been tagged. It has been on these racks for several years and despite several reportings in that time has remained for one reason or another. Update 14 Jan: Hurray it … [more]
A bike rack has been bent almost completely flat against the ground. It looks like it was reversed into by a large van or truck, the bicycle attached to the rack was squashed in between. There are no bollards to protect the bikes / racks … [more]
My guess is that a vehicle has reversed crushing the bike against the rack and bending the rack completely over. The back wheel in particular looks like it has been pressed over the rack. The pedal crank is bent too, so quite a substantial … [more]
New cycle parking at Churchill College - and a sign saying No Cycling Inside The College, even from here to the road. This parking area is nowhere near anything except for one accommodation block.
The PCR testing centre has been here for 10 months now and they still haven't thought about cycle access and parking.
This is a residential area with lots of flats. I've recently moved here and there is no secure cycle storage for people in flats with no outdoor space. It would be great if cycle racks, or even better if bikehangars could be installed in … [more]
New Co-op opens with no cycle parking, yet plenty of space for various pavement-blocking paraphernalia
POLITE THREAT The message on this note that is attached to a cargo bike parked in the corner of a motor vehicle dealership reads: "POLITE NOTICE The owner of the dealership has requested that you do not park your bike on his land, it … [more]
New two-tier cycle parking at King's College - anything rather than reducing the space for car storage?
No Bicycles sign - if they provided something better than wheelbender parking, there wouldn't be an issue.
2020: Latest iteration of bad cycle parking at 24 Hills Road 🤭 2019: #112492 wheelbenders 2012: #35336 oversize hoops
Stands gradually being removed as they become loose, due to being wrongly installed in the first place
Cycle parking at the Trumpington Road P+R. Toast racks like this don't look permanent to me, but I'm guessing these are. Not good enough, if so. They should be covered and more secure to start with.
Broken racks - nice idea in principle to provide wheel supports against these stands, like on the left. In practice though they have turned out to be fragile.
Strange - absurdly over-specified cycle stands with the other side taken out of use to allow a second car to be squeezed in (as visible on Google satellite).
Really, what is the point? Take every second stand out and you might have something useable. And it's been like this since at least 2003 - #7011.
Informally parked cycles in Richmond Terrace. It’s about time that official space is found here to provide secure and welcoming place for them.
PRIVATE PROPERTY NO CYCLING symbol NO BICYCLES PLEASE LOCKS WILL BE CUT WITHOUT WARNING ALL ATTACHED ITEMS WILL BE REMOVED There are clearly lots of cyclists who live near or in this private development, but there’s apparently no … [more]
Cambridge CyclePoint - a visit on an infrastructure tour. The main problem of this cycle park is no-one wants to pay to maintain it properly. Hence it is dirty, littered with broken racks and has a high rate of cycle theft.
