Photo #	Caption	Categorisation
29288	The well used cycle racks here are unusally rather generously spaced out here. The number of racks could probably be doubled.	Cycle parking: Infrastructure
29287	Every spare bit of space round here is used for cycle parking. There is definitely scope though for putting some on-carriageway parking at the top right of this photo, which is used for car parking at night.	Cycle parking: Problem
29236	No, its not a dropped kerb, apparently its a toad friendly crossing point, and the wooden posts are a wildlife friendly barrier.	Road environment: Good practice
29235	This narrow pathway is ripe for considerable widening. It is a valuable access route.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
29234	This rather narrow path is a very valuable access route to/from Cherry Hinton High Street. I've noticed it has not appeared on recent editions of the Cambridge City Cycle map.	General sign/notice: Infrastructure
29233	These chicanes are now wide enough that it is apparently possible to read your text messages while cycling through them ;-)	Obstruction: Good practice
29232	Cycle path here is getting a bit untidy during the Tins path closure.	Cycleway: Event
29231	The tight corner near the narrow railway bridge crossing has been usefully widened.	Cycleway: Good practice
29230	The Tins path bridge footings being widened after it was discovered that the bridge was too big #29032.	Cycleway: Event
29179	And as usual, the signs are in the cycle lane; the camber of the pavement does provide some reason as to why this has happened ...but a reason isn't an excuse and it would be nice if these things didn't happen. Location approximate.	Roadworks: Problem
29142	Replacement cycle parking - made from stainless steel and with a cross bar these look a lot better and more secure than the bent pipes that were previously in this area.	Cycle parking: Good practice
29141	St. John's College REGISTERED CYCLES ONLY Your cycle is left here entirely at your own risk. St. John's College accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for your cycle or property left within the College. The College retains the right to remove any cycles or property at any time that are unregistered or abandoned.	General sign/notice: Infrastructure
29140	Excellent to see that the lamp post (shown in #28939) has been moved out of the way of the path on this newly constructed footway.	Cycleway: Good practice
29139	Reasonable width cycle lanes down Gilbert Road, Cambridge. Location approximate.	Road environment: Good practice
29138	W582 EOO, whom I've caught here before, parked-up in Emmanuel Road's contraflow cycle lane. There's a loading bay fifteen metres in front of him. Location approximate.	Enforcement: Problem
29137	Gilbert road Cycle path heading towards Histon Road, blocked at 15:00 Friday 18th March 2011 by 3 parked cars. Maybe having spent all that money on creating no parking and cycle paths we should get the "boys in blue" or some traffic wardens to watch the area around the school at end of school. It could prove worthwhile.	Obstruction: Problem
29136	King's College backs	Destination: Misc
29135	King's College chapel	Destination: Misc
29134	John's Bikes, 3 Arbury Court, Cambridge	Bike shop: Infrastructure
29111	Slalom of cones and barriers, on the cycleway adjacent to Trumpington High Street.	Roadworks: Event
29107	Cycle lane closed during roadworks on Maids Causeway, Cambridge	Roadworks: Event
29106	About a foot and a half too long! This will unfortunately set back the opening of this bridge by I'd guess a few weeks, lets hope it is not months. In these days of engineering project management it is rather surprising that this sort of gross error still happens - but at least it looks like this bridge is not going to wobble. The BBC radio Cambridgeshire reporter said "This is a bridge of sighs - the wrong size". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-12759800	Cycleway: Problem
29105	Curious sign during roadworks on Maids Causeway, Cambridge	Roadworks: Event
29066	Private road - which until fairly recently was closed off with bollards.	Road environment: Infrastructure
29064	At the end of this cycle route there is no nice junction for cycling, and there is no dropped kerb. Instead you must make your way to the crossing point.	Cycleway: Problem
29047	The cyclist in the middle of this photo went on to turn right. By cycling where he is he is effectively inviting the traffic to undertake him, when there is really not enough room to do so safely. Would it be better for him to have 'taken the lane', moving into the right turn lane after the crossing?	Road environment: Event
29045	A narrow cycle by-pass on Sedley Taylor Road. See #29043 for some criticism.	Road environment: Infrastructure
29044	Luard Road now enjoys a 20mph limit - and has some gentle traffic calming to support it.	Road environment: Infrastructure
29043	A cycle by-pass. I just don't understand why it is not about 2 metres wide! If you're pulling a cycle trailer it forces you to go right into the gutter - utterly unnecessary and rather disappointing.	Road environment: Infrastructure
29042	Temporary road closure for installation of the Tins cycle bridge.	Road environment: Event
29041	Another view of the Tins bridge - about a foot too long. What a shame - but it can surely be fixed quite easily by just recessing the far embankment.	Cycleway: Problem
29040	What was the roughest patch of road in Cambridge (#14068 ) has finally been fixed - but not alas the smaller patch by the ironwork in the mid-distance.	Pothole: Infrastructure
29039	A couple of bald spots.	Pothole: Problem
29038	That should be 'Left turn only - except bikes'.	General sign/notice: Problem
29037	How anti-social! Why does this person feel entitled to take up two spaces?	Obstruction: Event
29036	The future for rural buses?	Other: Misc
29035	The future for rural buses?	Other: Misc
29034	Even though the bridge isn't right you can see what the new cycleway along the Tins will look like now	Other: Misc
29033	Even though it wasn't constructed properly, the lifting of the bridge gives a good impression of what the new cycleway will look like at The Tins	Other: Misc
29032	Tins Bridge turns out to be too long - or more likely, the abutments weren't put in correctly. They'll have to take out some big chunks of reinforced concrete and re-lay them, then try again. All fixed in #30171.	Other: Misc
29031	Before they lowered it into place they feared it was going to be too big....	Cycleway: Event
29030	Tins bridge being lifted into place (4)	Other: Misc
29029	Tins bridge being lifted into place (1)	Other: Misc
29028	Tins bridge being swung into place (2)	Other: Misc
29027	Oh how embarrassing. The new bridge over the Tins is lifted into place, only to find it is about 40cm too long.	Cycleway: Event
29026	The new cycle bridge for Burnside takes to the air.	Cycleway: Event
29025	The new cycle bridge takes to the air.	Cycleway: Event
29024	The widened Tins path awaits its new bridge.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28940	Another view of the pavement being constructed for the Rustat Road end of the cycle bridge. See also #28939	Other: Good practice
28939	Construction of the path at the end of the cycle bridge. (Taken with a phone.) See also #28940 Thankfully this lamppost has been moved out of the way - see #29140	Other: Good practice
28876	Already full to capacity and more bikes parked across the street, these new cycle parking stands have been a great success. Thank you to Cycle Cambridge.	Cycle parking: Good practice
28875	Members of the Cambridge Cycling Committee collecting their bikes after a day of focussing on what the Campaign should be prioritizing. But these racks have disappeared by end of June: #31612	Cycle parking: Event
28873	There is no cycleway or safe cycling route from our village (Little Eversden) into Cambridge. It would be good if there was a cycleway alongside the A603 to link into Barton to provide safe cycling into Cambridge. In addition a safe cycling route from Little Eversden to Comberton Village College would be helpful for travelling to and from school. I am disappointed that the focus seems to be very much on improving existing cycleways and not providing safe routes from Cambridge villages into the city centre.	Obstruction: Problem
28872	Track north of Dairy Farm, de jure Newton. Strictly mountain bikes I think, but the track is a permissive bridleway: open to pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and authorised vehicles. Location approximate.	Other: Infrastructure
28871	Riverside 'promenade' plans up on a board on Riverside, Cambridge; this is currently under construction or at least the promenade is (orange on plan, curving along the edge of the River Cam). Note the quite poor cycle provision (very narrow cycleway 'links' plus bollards) on what is currently a decent cut-through. Click image to enlarge.	General sign/notice: Event
28868	The path width is being doubled to accommodate shared use with bicycles.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28867	The cones artificially show how much room is left for a cyclist using the onroad cycle lane should a passing vehicle be squeezed by an oncoming vehicle. The advisory cycle lane is 116cm wide at its thinnest point.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28866	The end of the Cottenham to Histon shared use cycle path. Joining the carriageway, involves looking and giving way to three different directions - left, ahead, behind. This is an example of how a cycle path can add danger for cyclists and make it slower than using the road. Notice how the shared use (foreground) and footpath only (ahead) paths do not differ. The roadworks ahead are widening the path.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28865	The shared use cyle path. You always wonder if a pedestrian will pop out from the bus shelter.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28864	Every dropped kerb slows down a cyclist and makes cycling harder. It is about 20% faster to use this road and you are not exposed to any cycle path obstructions.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28863	If this cyclist had used the cycle path, they would have to stop to give way to the car. Worst case, they might be flying over that bonnet. A white van is parked on the cycle path in the distance.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28862	At the northern end of Histon on the shared use cycle path. A series of driveways which a car may pop out of. Dropped kerbs to slow you down. In the distance a white lorry has parked on the path.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28861	There is not enough room for two cyclists to pass on the Cottenham to Histon cycle path.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28860	The thinnest part of the Cottenham to Histon cyclepath. That wheel is 27.5 inches, or 2'4" or 70cm diameter. Occasionally you have to dodge 50mph wing mirrors at head height from buses or HGVs.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28859	The thinnest section of the Cottenham to Histon cycle path.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28858	The shared use cycle path near Cottenham Skips. Too thin, too close to the traffic, and dirty. Imagine threading yourself between the 50mph traffic and the ditch, with dust being blown into your face, at night whilst being temporarily blinded.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28857	The shared use cycle path between Cottenham and Histon. The ditch is very deep. I know of at least one person who has fallen into it. It beats falling into the traffic.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28856	Between Cottenham and Histon on the shared use path near Cottenham Skips. The path is rarely cleaned, sometimes slippery. At night oncoming car lights mean you are temporarily blinded. Seeing the edge of the road, the ditch and any pedestrians is difficult.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28855	The start of the shared use cycle path, Cottenham to Histon. If heading Northbound, you have to rejoin the road crossing over two lanes of traffic, one of which is accelerating out of the village, the other decelerating often busy and at 40 mph.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28854	The start of the Cottenham to Histon shared-use cycle path at the edge of Cottenham.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28852	You can't see the context here, but were you in a position to obey this sign, you would have been cycling the wrong way up the road.	General sign/notice: Problem
28849	Volunteers at the tree planting event at White Fen	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28848	Volunteers at the tree planting event White Fen	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28847	Tree planting event at White Fen	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28846	Tree planting event at White Fen	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28845	Tree planting at White Fen on Sunday 6th March 2011	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28843	Construction of the new footway access to the cycle bridge.	Roadworks: Event
28842	The new footway under construction that will connect this pavement properly with the Cycle Bridge.	Roadworks: Event
28841	This is a very useful link to the cycle bridge and the centre of Cambridge. Shame it was built so narrow, but great that it has no barriers.	Cycleway: Good practice
28840	A useful cut through in a housing estate.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28839	This is permeability. The useful link between Brackyn Road and Corrie Road.	Cycleway: Good practice
28838	Can you spot the tiny walking and cycling route signs ? The one on the lamppost on the left says 'Rustat Road', and the one on the lamppost on the very right has symbols only.	Route sign: Problem
28837	This very useful cut through called Pig Lane mercifully has no awkward and ugly chicanes to spoil everyone's day. But it does have a bit of textured paving there.	Cycleway: Good practice
28836	I notice some textured paving has been added to this area around the Pig Lane cut-through. It is very pleasing that there are no silly barriers here.	Cycleway: Good practice
28835	Holbrook Road - most of the spare road space is taken up in this area during the daytime as a kind of greater Addenbrooke's car park.	Road environment: Problem
28834	Every bit of spare road space is taken up in this area during the daytime as a kind of greater Addenbrooke's car park.	Road environment: Problem
28833	Note the big uninformative cycle lanes sign contrasting with the smaller detailed and virtually illegible (from the riding position) directional signage.	Route sign: Problem
28832	Access to this very useful cut-through has been very significantly improved. Well done!	Cycleway: Good practice
28831	The barriers here are rather un-necessary because there is no pedestrian traffic immediately beyond, and there's plenty of visibility before the footway.	Obstruction: Problem
28830	Wulfstan Way	Road environment: Infrastructure
28829	Gunhild Way	Road environment: Infrastructure
28828	Gunhild Way - 20mph	Road environment: Good practice
28827	Much of the nation's reserves of steel are kept here. Can you tell from this photo where the pedestrians are supposed to be?	Obstruction: Problem
28826	Approaching the toucan crossing of Cherry Hinton road.	Road environment: Infrastructure
28825	Even when there is no other traffic on the road the traffic cuts into the advisory cycle lane here where the road narrows significantly.	Cycleway: Problem
28824	The road narrows a bit on this curve and encroachment well into this advisory cycle lane is endemic.	Cycleway: Problem
28823	Two on-road cyclists approaching the Robin Hood junction. Although there is a pavement cycleway it stops at the junction leaving the rider in an awkward position. It is much more practical to stay on the road to get through the junction. Note they are both carrying supermarket bags hanging from their handlebars. This is also where the newly marked advisory cycle lane runs starts towards Cambridge.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
28822	Attractive, sturdy and durable cycle parking in Cherry Hinton.	Cycle parking: Good practice
28821	Quite a nice set of sturdy looking cycle parking here - well done! Although they still look quite new, they're at least 5 years old - see #9329.	Cycle parking: Good practice
28820	The utility of this useful cut through is destroyed by these ugly and over-zealous barriers which do much to spoil the street environment here. It is possible to slow cyclists down without making life difficult and unpleasant for everyone.	Obstruction: Problem
