THREE.. Bad infrastructure... and the problems it causes
Addressing niggles on a city-wide basis
A systematic effort to get rid of the numerous little niggling problems that every cyclist faces on their daily journey would make journeys so much more pleasant
While a few large-scale projects are required to make cycling safer and more convenient in Cambridge there are also many small things that can be done to make a big difference.
Every cyclist in the area can name numerous small, niggling problems along their regular cycle routes and in many cases putting these right should be an inexpensive process. These include bumps, potholes, dropped kerbs which are not flush with the road, or any of the other numerous small obstacles which are the legacy of decades of bad design. There needs to be a concerted and systematic effort to identify all these minor problems and remove them from the city’s streets.
For the future, if high-quality cycle provision is installed in the first instance, and well maintained, such niggles will be vastly reduced.
