10811Photo #10811Repairs - to the defective surface - needed here at the Trumpington St / Lensfield Rd roundabout.

Traffic levels are very high here and come from all directions to converge in a very small area. As a result a bad surface increases the hazards for a cyclist as s/he has to look at the road to avoid the defects as well as try to negotiate the junction and the other road users.

Note: There is a fundamental problem with the design of these particular 'toastracks'. The rails on the toast-rack are spaced such that one of the bike wheels has to 'sit' on the top of the rail while the other wheel is on the ground. That is unstable and so the bike falls over.
