20459Photo #20459Pretty alright road for cycling, on my old commute between Fowlmere and Foxton railway station. Wide enough for a bike and a motor vehicle; maybe two of the former. Very good visibility (though not on this brow, but on the rest of the road) and, under normal circumstances, more than plenty of forward space for cars and whatnot to make actions of overtaking.Road environment:

Me: "Are you aware that you're illegally parked?"
Him: "Mate, mate: move on."
Me: "I think you should too."

The driver then violently opened his door into my leg, then began harranging (is there such a word?) me; I walked off to get my saddle replaced (not related to incident; just didn't like the one I had). Reported to SCDC who passed information onto the Police.

20205Photo #20205I'm guessing the red sign is there just in case people unfamiliar with UK traffic regulations wander onto the motorway (left), but the sign is incorrect anyway. It's a shared-use path for both cycles and pedestrians, yet the sign says 'pedal cycles only'. So... where are the pedestrians supposed to go? I think the Council's used the wrong sign.General sign/notice:
