This cargo bike is used by staff at the David Parr House visitor centre (184 Gwydir Street) when performing "outreach" and promotional work. https://davidparrhouse.org
Busway cyclepath by Clare College sports ground. Almost 1m from edge of path to fence. Could bee used to widen cyclepath if lighting pillars moved.
Busway cyclepath, Long Road underpass, looking south. Path should be re-aligned to improve sight lines through tunnel and junction with access from Long Road by moving away from busway track.
This is an old postcard from the much lamented Postcard Shop that used to be on Magdalene Street. (Perish the thought of anyone even considering this...)
The new GCP/Marshalls cycle barometer - which is only recording cyclists heading towards the town centre. Not sure if this was intended. To clarify - the number recorded does not change when cyclists head to the left, away from the centre.

Convertible space (marked as wheelchair space on the outside) on a Class 700 Thameslink train - there's not quite enough space for a normal bike and a human being, you have to sit with your legs out to the left.
Finally, a better shot of this space opposite the shops on Magdelene Street. (see #72630 to see what I mean.) This would be a good spot for a few bike racks, I think, given the number of fly parked bikes round here.
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.
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.
Wheelchair space on the newish Class 387 trains - not quite long enough for a standard bike, but useable.
Someday this may form part of a 'strategic cycleway' on the west side of Hobson's brook. This might be a semi-decent stab at filtered permeability / cycle street network. The bollards are OK. Maybe a little close, and of the unforgiving ... [more]
Someday this may form part of a 'strategic cycleway' on the west side of Hobson's brook. This part was done differently to the others, and it's clearly incomplete.
Close up of paving light. This one is, obviously, not working but it does mean you can see how small they are. (LED bulb?) See also #95284
These would need to be viewed in the dark but these small lights seem to be quite effective, but subtle. An idea for more rural locations, perhaps?
Kenzies coach driver parks up illegally in Hills Road cyclelane whilst getting coffee. An increasingly popular stopping place. @LibralLady https://t.co/crxyXmwxRo
New scheme is vast improvement over old situation, even if not perfect. Busy day as kids are back at school again.
DG17 WEK in Yet More Illegal Cyclepath Parking. Repeat offences bcos they can get away with it? https://t.co/qmHfI8BS1B
HS15 MKA and AE65 SXK in Yet More Illegal Cyclepath Parking on Water Street/Fen Road https://t.co/iWvwRCMN4o
@IanGManning Sadly, the experience today. NU10 JYP and NY59 AXA Illegally stopped in cyclelane. The same builders. & shows walking issue too https://t.co/aO8fLqtqx8
@cyclestreets Reported issue on Council scheme. It's only just been reported by someone else & closed without anything happening. #Cambridge #Trumpington https://t.co/whaa55xxEW

Only one bollard is necessary to prevent vehicle access here. This would create less conflict, as cycles and wheelchairs etc could pass simultaneously each side of the bollard.
This is a two lane entrance to the traffic lights. The queueing traffic to the left is doing a right turn which lights are only green for a short time. The other lane is clear to use with a green light. Apart from a bus across both lanes do ... [more]
Barriers on Histon Road to Borrowdale path which prevent its use by larger bikes eg. cargo bikes and bikes adapted to carry children.
Bollard on narrow stretch of City Road where it joins Prospect Row by the Free Press (pub on left). Bollard and kerbs make this an awkward corner.
One for fans of Vulpine /Rapha? (Though undoubtedly not made by either.) Spotted in the gift shop Jacks. Wins points for the cap.
Could there be pedestrian/cycle access from Moss Bank to the new Cambridge North station to the west of the rail lines?
Fen Road level crossing and Cambridge North station - could there be pedestrian/cycle access to the station to the west of the rail lines here?
It would be good to have a direct link to this cycle shed in the Cambridge Business Park - but that would require a crossing of the busway.
The new ticket hall at Cambridge station - it's actually possible to get to the ticket machines (and out again) with a bike now.
OWL BIkes at Addenbrooke's - no indication whether this is to drop off bikes as donations or perhaps to collect repaired bikes.
Approaching Devonshire Road from Carter cycle bridge. Two concrete bollards have been removed and new, white, ones added with clear markings, instead.
Much better than https://cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/83577 where they'd illegally coned off the cyclelane.
Illegally parked in cyclelane. Highway Code Rule 240 (backed up in law) You MUST NOT stop or park on a tram or cycle lane. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_069860 And the 1988 Road Traffic Act, section ... [more]
CL Travel unloading on Hills Road. The road has "no unloading" marks all along apart from paintwork that used to indicate a pedestrian crossing. The pedestrian crossing was taken out 6 months ago but the paintwork hasn't changed to reflect ... [more]
No Pedestrian Exit, let alone cyclists - but this should be a useful link to the cycle parking at Downing College
Approach to Carter Bridge from Devonshire Road, showing bollards put in May 2016 (work not yet complete)
I've always thought it would be very helpful if Cambridge University could somehow put in a cycle route between the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Engineering Department, to link to NCN route 11 and avoid the double roundabouts.
Access to station from cycle park (and car park) shared with pedestrians and not very wide. There's more space to the right but it was fenced off on 23 January 2016.
Route from temporary cycle park. There's plenty of space, on the right, for a decent width cycle path rather than making cyclists share with pedestrians. Okay the space may be used for building work sometimes but it wasn't in use on Saturda ... [more]
Missing and broken cycle racks at Cambridge Station temporary cycle park on 23 January 2016 making secure parking difficult.
These are the bollards noted in Robin's photo #67374. Not only silly, but they look lethal to me. If anybody collides with one of these, the plate on top could take quite a slice into flesh.
