One of Assen's very high speed commuters riding a fully faired recumbent trike. All types of bicycle are accommodated on Dutch cycle paths, and high speeds are possible.
Hybrid cycle lane in Groningen. Note that the kerb showing that the hybrid cycle lane is on-road.
Spiky road signs: zero benefit, plenty of downside for cyclists going in this direction. Lying in wait for unsuspecting cyclist after dark. This all-too-familiar practice should be banned.
The new one way system has been made slightly more bicycle friendly by the addition of this contraflow cycle lane. However, cyclists are required to perform a 90 degree change of direction without slipping on the drain cover.
With a little care (less) parking it's possible to block the pavement and the cycle lane. Licensed taxi 148 blocks mandatory cycle lane and pavement outside Revolution in Downing Street, Cambridge

Useful stretch of cycle lane for bypassing queuing traffic and getting past a narrowed area in the road
Buses get stuck in traffic because of the sheer number of private motor vehicles, most of them containing a single occupant. A good demonstration of why congestion charging is needed.

Location may not be exact, but it was somewhere near here. A nice example of 'Hybrid Provision' - near segregation of bikes, pedestrians and cars, though sadly it didn't last for long. At road junctions this cycle lane does have the same ... [more]
Terry Clark and David Hembrow before starting a ride from Lands End to John o'Groats in July 2006. There is a website describing the entire journey here: http://www.freewebtown.com/lejog/triplog.html

This is the location of the start of the Friday Rides. Its on the Stourbridge Common side of Green Dragon Bridge, Cambridge. Zoom the map out to see the local area.
Looking towards Hobson Street from King Street. This is one of the most explicit examples of a cycle route going directly between two No Entry signs. The absence of a "cyclists exception " panel underneath the No Entry signs here co ... [more]
