35362		I've copied this report from the Cambridge News about the reality of using the road here... Kate King Any improvement in road safety would be a start. I was cycling towards Fen Ditton from Horningsea at lunchtime today. I was nearly hit by an oncoming car overtaking two other cars at about 60 miles an hour. There is no hard shoulder, there was nowhere for me to go. If you are cycling at a reasonable speed there is no way that you can just cycle up a kerbside. There was no time to get off. I think the cars he was overtaking managed to make a little space ..at the last minute he moved over and he missed me by less than a yard. He would have killed me. If I had been a car he would have been dead, but if I had been a car he probably wouldn't have been driving on the wrong side of the road. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/Cycling-safety-campaign-inspired-by-Cambridge-University-graduate-fighting-for-life-03022012.htm	Other: Problem
35360		The battle to eliminate wheel benders from Cambridge gets a massive punch in the face from this Boxing Club which has bodged some of the worst cycle racks in modern times against this Victorian era building.	Cycle parking: Problem
35359		Space has been found for these well-used cycle racks adjacent to a doctors' surgery. See also #35358	Cycle parking: Good practice
35358		Its great to see some proper cycle parking outside my doctor's surgery at last. Perhaps I can forgive him for driving an oversized performance car with a personalized number-plate now? Hmmm maybe not!	Cycle parking: Good practice
35344		Waiting to turn right into Purbeck Road from Hills Road, to get to the sixth form college. Road markings have disappeared and there's no central lane marking to help the hundreds of cyclists who need to make this maneouvre every day.	Road environment: Problem
35343		The excellent cycle parking outside this supermarket seems close to capacity. In contrast see this nearby supermarket: #35339	Cycle parking: Good practice
35342		Turning right into Purbeck Road to access the cycle parking for Hills Road Vi form college. There's little in the way of road markings here, and those that are supposed to be present, such as the cycle lane in the foreground have all but disappeared.	Road environment: Problem
35341		The 'phone boxes outside this former telephone exchange seem battered, ignored, and redundant. There's a huge demand for cycle parking in this area, as these signs confirm.	Cycle parking: Problem
35340		This supermarket did not provide any cycle parking for customers, and nor did the city council enforce its own planning regulations that would have forced it to find a solution. Hence there is a bike leaning against the shop, not properly secured.	Cycle parking: Problem
35339		This newly opened supermarket does not seem to have provided any cycle parking for customers. In contrast see this nearby supermarket: #35343	Cycle parking: Problem
35338		Its good to see a cycling gap in this 'road closure'. But the gap on the far side of the road does not look official.	Roadworks: Good practice
35337		Cambridges 'third' city centre cycle park - Emmanuel College railings.	Cycle parking: Good practice
35336		Innovative, attractive, prominent but probably insufficient!	Cycle parking: Good practice
35330		"Any Bike Found Chained to these Railings will be removed without notice and disposed of" 2 Hills Road, Encore Estates	Cycle parking: Problem
35329		Narrow sidewalk leads to overflow pedestrians endangering cyclists. Previous to fencing in this area was relatively open car parking (Peugeot) which took some pressure from the sidewalk	Road environment: Problem
35328		Unsecured overflow college bike parking. Leads to crowded sidewalk. "The school should have space for all the bikes of the students" (Note the empty space behind the wooden fence)	Cycle parking: Problem
35327		Bike Parking on Campus, insufficient spaces	Cycle parking: Problem
35326		Bikes parked along Purbeck road, obstructing sidewalk, many badly secured, all avoiding or excluded from on campus bike parking	Cycle parking: Problem
35325		From Purbeck Rd, access to on campus bike parking.	Cycle parking: Problem
35324		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNxv2hY6it8 The entrance to this cycle path is very limited and requires great care when coming onto and off the road. I need to cycle into the middle of the road to be able to take the corner, even at slow speeds. The path is badly potted and always covered in water.	Road environment: Problem
35322		See video clip at http://youtu.be/nfXNnYM9Sow Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 As the Highway code picture shows, why isn't the driver all the way over the central line? There's no traffic on the other side, so there's absolutely no reason to be this close. Of course if there was traffic on the otherside you must NOT overtake!	Enforcement: Event
35321		Cycle parking at the leisure park on a gloomy January day.	Cycle parking: Good practice
35320		Riders emerge from the central cycle lane off Hills Road bridge - away from the dangers of the left turning traffic.	Road environment: Good practice
35319		Lots of bikes cling to the balcony supports in this relatively new development. Clearly the cycle parking that was provided, (see nearby photos or e.g. #35319 and #35317) has been inadequate. It would have seemed easy in a new development to have anticipated this and provided for it properly. Instead we have a disappointing mess.	Cycle parking: Problem
35318		The sign on the lamp-post at the left suggests "Steal a bike!" in big letters. Its only if you go up and read the small print that it makes it clear this is some kind of iffy 'dare you' type crime reduction measure.	General sign/notice: Problem
35317		Complicated wall mounted cycle racks in a ground level car park. Why ordinary Sheffield-style cycle parking couldn't be used here is beyond me. If you look carefully you'll notice that one of the racks in the middle of the photo has come away from the wall. It is not clear how the bikes can be locked to the rack or wall. Very poor and inexcusably bad - but on the other hand they are well used. But this is for bike storage rather than cycle parking.	Cycle parking: Problem
35316		Hills Road bridge central cycle lane for straight on cyclists.	Cycleway: Good practice
35315		By counting the blockwork, which are usually 10x20 cm, I estimate these racks on this fairly recent development have been placed at only 50 cm spacing. This is not what is in the planning guidance and means that space is wasted here.	Cycle parking: Problem
35313		Using a modified gaming chair as a recumbent development workstation for CycleStreets.	Other: Event
35312		This supermarket was allowed to open on this site without providing any cycle parking. For years the building next door (out of shot to the right, but see #17250) has had NO CYCLE PARKING signs affixed to its railings. This is another blot on Cambridge city council who repeatedly fail to enforce their own cycle parking standards.	Cycle parking: Problem
35306		A bicycle clings to a lamppost in a residential street where all the gardens seem to have become car parks.	Cycle parking: Problem
35305		I think I can count about 9 bikes on the upper decks in this housing development.	Cycle parking: Problem
35290		Riding past the long queue of traffic (which stretches round the distant corner most of the length of Jesus lane) for Park Street Car Park.	Congestion: Good practice
35288		Cycle parking overflowing at the Fitzwilliam Museum. Its especially busy because its the last few days of the Vermeer's Women exhibition. The white sign on the A board is washed out by reflection of the sun, but it reports that 'Cycle thieves operate in this area'. Loads of big baskets. http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/	Cycle parking: Good practice
35285		The Outspoken team pose outside their offices - its a photo-shoot for their new website. http://www.outspokendelivery.co.uk/about-us/team	Other: Event
35282		Provide a suitable way for cyclists to get onto the busway cycle track. The bridleway just to the North is a death trap with a base of loose cinders intermixed with sharp wires and other rubbish, designed to give punctures.	Obstruction: Problem
35262		The surface here is OK for small wheelers like this Brompton, but gets slippy and rougher further along.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35261		Although the sign says footpath it seems to have been upgraded to a bridleway, see #35260.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35260		This farm track now seems to have been upgraded to a bridleway according to the notices pinned on the post, but not according to the visible signage in the area.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35259		Overtaking a bit too close to the parked car, but mindful of the on-coming traffic.	Road environment: Event
35258		Safe and comfortable overtaking distance.	Road environment: Event
35257		Cycleway gives way to farm access road.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35256		Cycleway crosses road.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35255		Sawston end of the cycleway from Babraham.	Cycleway: Good practice
35254		Sawston end of the cycleway from Babraham.	Cycleway: Good practice
35253		Sorry about the picture quality but it was cold, wet and getting dark. At least it gives a flavour of the cycle path here.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35252		Its getting dark, but these white dashes help to see the edge of the cycleway.	Cycleway: Good practice
35251		The worst kind of cycle parking, concrete wheel benders, two of which have been 'upgraded' with a wall anchor point. Grim. This is outside a nursery school.	Cycle parking: Problem
35250		Rather unusual one-way system in a residential area - but then again this is a private development.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35249		Babraham - the 'footpath' sign is the route to Abington, 1½ miles away.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35248		Covered cycle parking at a school.	Cycle parking: Good practice
35247		Babraham	Road environment: Infrastructure
35246		What a shame that a cyclist by pass was not created in this build-out.	Road environment: Problem
35245		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35244		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. New cycleway between Sawston and Babraham.	Cycleway: Good practice
35243		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. View of the Babraham Insititute.	Destination: Good practice
35242		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35241		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This gate and narrow gap next to it would be hard to see at night. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.	Obstruction: Problem
35240		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35239		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Sign from Babraham Farms making it clear that this track off the bridleway is not for horses or bikes.	General sign/notice: Infrastructure
35238		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. A horse mounting block on the bridleway. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35237		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham.	Cycleway: Good practice
35236		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This horse mounting block is the first hard evidence we've seen that this is a bridleway (and hence legitimately cyclable).	Cycleway: Good practice
35235		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Returning to pick up a dropped glove.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35234		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Hard to know whether this bit of the footpath has recently been upgraded to bridleway status - its so narrow that it doesn't feel like it.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35232		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Track was a bit narrow and slippy for the small wheels of a Brompton here.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35231		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35230		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35229		A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. http://www.cyclestreets.net/journey/1429329/	Road environment: Infrastructure
35228		Showing a repainted section of the colourful 10,000th mile. See #10000	Cycleway: Good practice
35227		This seems to be the cycleway towards Addenbrooke's. The no-entry sign is presumably for the yet-to-be-built road on the left.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
35226		Mixed message: "Get off the pavement, except when its convenient for traffic management purposes." #35225 shows the other side of this sign, which invites riders onto the pavement.	General sign/notice: Problem
35225		Right turning riders are asked to turn left on to the pavement and use the pedestrian crossing, but a full advanced stop line is provided. The ahead only arrow on the traffic lights has a bus exception. It seems that all this amounts to a 'no right turn' for cyclists here - but it is certainly ambiguous.	General sign/notice: Infrastructure
35220		Mickey Flynns American Pool, Mill Road, Cambridge	Destination: Misc
35208		St Andrews Street clear of all traffic.	Road environment: Event
35207		St Andrews Street clear of all traffic.	Road environment: Event
35193		Cambridge Cycling Campaign stall at the Mill Road Winter Fair	Bicycle: Event
35192		Barriers temporarily opened here during the Mill Road Winter Fair. For the rest of the year, whilst a barrier is needed to stop through-traffic, this photo shows how much easier cycling through here would be if the gate were replaced with a central bollard.	Obstruction: Problem
35178		Overflow parking at Grand Arcade cycle park. Every available bit of wall space take up with bikes. No signs warning cyclists not to do this, so it is seemingly tolerated. (Shh!)	Cycle parking: Problem
35149		Only in Cambridge? A gold coloured frame politely states the case for the privacy of this drainpipe. For more context see #35148. 66 on y' bike A message to our kind, thoughtful and considerate customers. Please do not under any circumstances attach yourself or your bicycle to this privately owned drainpipe. Have a care. 99 Perhaps the restaurant, http://www.back-street.co.uk/ would like to say what accommodation they make for customers arriving by bike? There do not seem to be any cycle parking stands in the vicinity.	General sign/notice: Problem
35148		Bikes parked in Sturton Street, but the drainpipe has a funny sign, detailed in #35149.	Road environment: Infrastructure
35147		A useful cut-through and generous chicane.	Obstruction: Good practice
35144		Second page of newsletter - page 1 at #35143	Enforcement: Problem
35143		This newsletter from Romsey Lib Dems seems to suggest that Tesco have admitted to delivering from the front of the store on Mill Road, which is against the planning consent for the store.	Enforcement: Problem
35133		Beta version of Cyclescape being shared with a stakeholder group.	Other: Event
35132		Martin demonstrates the Cyclescape system to a stakeholder group.	Other: Event
35131		Lots of bikes parked against this bank.	Cycle parking: Infrastructure
35113		Bicycle rails are currently in the process of being modified	Obstruction: Problem
35112		Bicycle rails are currently in the process of being modified	Obstruction: Problem
35111		Bicycle rails are currently in the process of being modified	Obstruction: Problem
35109		Bicycle rails are currently in the process of being modified	Obstruction: Problem
35108		Bicycle rails are currently in the process of being modified	Obstruction: Problem
35107		Members of Cambridge Cycling Campaign enjoying a Seasonal Social, December 2011	Other: Event
35106		Leaving a 20 mph zone, and enterring another one!	General sign/notice: Problem
35105		Christ on a bike will be paid - 20p a mile.	General sign/notice: Good practice
35103		Wherever there is space, cars will squeeze in - often blocking each other in. Traffic wardens will not ticket a vehicle unless it completely obstructs the footpath or is on double yellow lines. As these vehicles are not on the "Road" they are not in the wrong.	Car parking: Problem
35102		Builders from the nearby Brunswick Development (http://www.brunswick-site.co.uk) use the cycle path under the bridge for free parking, obstructing the foot path.	Car parking: Problem
35101		Builders from the nearby Brunswick Development (http://www.brunswick-site.co.uk) use the cycle path under the bridge for free parking, obstructing the foot path.	Car parking: Problem
35100		By crossing the bollards at Cutter Ferry Close, cars and vans can park all along the cycleway both sides of the bridge.	Car parking: Problem
35099		Excellently located cycle parking - right outside the front door of this apartment hotel.	Cycle parking: Good practice
