24304Photo #24304The new housing on Orchard Park has brick sheds like this one dotted about that is intended for cycle parking. Good, but on opening the (unsecured) doors it is extremely disappointing to find flimsy wheelbenders that provide no security for your bikes unless you're prepared to bend down and stretch round and reach to get your bike fixed. Cycle parking is such an easy thing to get right, but no thought has gone into this and it lets the area down. Residents should complain loudly, and so should the Police as these areas will become known about and theft will happen. Very disappointing indeed.Cycle parking:

24268Photo #24268The 1968 extension of the Scott Polar Research Institute building. This photo is interesting because of the amount of space given over to cycle parking: a large number of concrete blocks are present.

24236Photo #24236The junction of Coldham's Lane with Brampton Road.

Note how the verge is deeply rutted opposite the mouth of the junction. This is presumably caused by vehicles mounting the kerb to pass vehicles that are waiting to turn right.

A dropped kerb in that area could benefit cyclists crossing from Brampton Road onto the pavement here, if it were to become a shared use footway.

24189Photo #24189Good question: who is blocking the pavement here?

Is it the cars, for whom part of the pavement has been officially allocated as parking, or the bike where there is no officially created secure cycle parking in this street.

24105Photo #24105Five taxis overranking on St Andrews Street. A minority of the taxi on the right of the frame is in the rank; the new 'rule', according to quite a few taxi-ers that I've spoken to over the past months, is that "if you're in the rank, it counts". That's the only thing *I* have a problem with; be a taxi driver if you want to, but can you not stop and block the road? The taxis/PHVs on the left are potentially not supposed to be there; does the 'no stopping except buses' restriction go any further north than the bus stops? Would LC52 WYK get a talking-to from Civil Enforcement? Note also the fourth green plate'd vehicle (private hire?; I should know to be honest) in the Citi 1 bus stop ...and, there's one more taxi strolling down the road to join in with all the mess; to give him credit, he did move past the rank and off down Hobson Street.Enforcement:
