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 restau ... [more]
Ironworks - new housing estate being built at the site of the old Mill Road Depot. Scandalously, this will not be a low-car development.
This used to be thick with trees but also a fairly awful / steep path link that the college decided it had to make worse with chicanes & a cyclists dismount sign. Unsure what's up, but it's all gone now (the sign has since been removed e ... [more]
See http://radwagon.blogspot.com/2016/08/pleasant-circular-route-round-cambridge.html for a video of riding around a pleasant little ride around Cambridge on good infra, not so good infra, and quiet roads. Just enjoy!
Contraflow cycle lane in Harvest Way, Cambridge blocked by builders' hoardings. There's an even wider obstruction a few metres beyond. The yellow notice says "CYCLE LANE CLOSED PLEASE USE HARVEST WAY ROAD" (sic) Note the one-way sign ... [more]
Tailgate of Biovest Logistics delivery vehicle blocking cycle route 9am Friday 4th July 2014. The driver didn't think he was causing an obstruction. I think his parking was inconsiderate and potentially a hazard as the tailgate was not very ... [more]
The southbound redmac cyclelane on Trumpington Road is in poor state and it is narrow: here it is only 40" / 102cm.
From here, the end of Nuffield Close to Milton Road (past the red-brick building in the background) this should become a road link from the trading estate to the A10. Add your name to the online petition http://iitm.be/ChestertonTrafficRedu ... [more]

Utilities access in the verge. There are more on the other (west-side) of the road as well. Moving them would be very expensive, and they would stop the laying of foundations sufficient to support the weight of motor traffic. However, could ... [more]
Could this verge be reduced to create extra width? It is more-or-less level with the road at this point.
The land on the left is suspected to belong to the council. Could it be reduced to provide additional width at the junction?
The end of parking and start of the left-turn queuing lane. Suggestion is that at peak this is full, and would seriously affect junction capacity if removed.
This bank cannot be touched by the proposed segregated cycleway. It meets the level of Hobson's Conduits and provides seepage for it. It would be extremely expensive to reduce, and therefore cannot be used for space re-allocation.
Bus stop on Trumpington Road poses a problem for space re-allocation for proposed segregated cycleway. Timetables suggest at least 10 buses an hour.

I saw this tream of hire bikes going past my window, so I thought I'd take a photo. Turns out picture tells a lot of stories. 1. Look at the space used by ~15 people on bikes compared to 4 people in motor vehicles. 2. Overall I can s ... [more]

A bus on full steering lock turns from Jesus Lane into Bridge Street - and displays the guidewheel. (In this photo the bus is moving towards the right of the picture.)
Photos from a ride on The Busway. From this angle the guidewheel does seem to protrude a rather long way. Here the wheel is a full lock as the bus would be making a sharp turn.
