31658		The busway cycleway near its junction with Milton Road.	Cycleway: Good practice
31657		Cycle parking right outside the main entrance to this company offices.	Cycle parking: Good practice
31656		Broken glass on the path - one of the hazards the cyclist has to endure. We kicked it to one side - which helped us when we came back this way much later.	Cycleway: Event
31655		The cows on Coldham's Common break their way into the spinney to get some shade from the hot sun.	Cycleway: Event
31654		Closed until 7th August. To get off this track requires going back a mile to Long Road. We knew this before exploring down here, but it has caught many people out!	General sign/notice: Infrastructure
31653		The busway cycleway looking towards Cambridge. Fabulously smooth and very fast riding surface.	Cycleway: Good practice
31652		Track running to the back of Foster Road, Trumpington	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31651		Fabulous covered cycle parking racks near the busway cycleway.	Cycle parking: Good practice

31634		Stylish VANMOOF bike with build-in ABUS locking system and lights parked at Cambridge Station.	Bicycle: Good practice
31633		These Sheffield stands are spaced in a way that only one bike can be fitted between stands. They leave about half the required space between stands.	Cycle parking: Infrastructure
31632		Packing more Sheffield stands into a limited space reduces the number of bikes that can be parked. These stands leave about half the required space between stands.	Cycle parking: Infrastructure
31631		It is always good to see cycle parking with Sheffield stands under a roof! Packing more Sheffield stands into a limited space reduces the number of bikes that can be parked. These stands leave about half the required space between stands.	Cycle parking: Infrastructure
31621		Soft plea to cyclists not to lean bikes against this house - a terraced street in Romsey, Cambridge. "Please do not leave bicycles here unatended (sic) please do not lock bicycles here"	Cycle parking: Problem
31620		Current detour from Histon to Orchard Park. Ring Fort Path could make the route 600 m shorter: http://www.camcycle.org.uk/jumpto/RingFortPath	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31619		Ring Fort Path route as proposed by Orchard Park Community Cllr Blair. Ring Fort Path route as proposed by Orchard Park Community Cllr Blair. Routed along near the play areas at Orchard Park it may help to prevent vandalism in this otherwise remote corner behind the recycling station and the changing rooms. See also #31618	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31618		Ring Fort Path route as proposed by Orchard Park Community Cllr Blair. Routed along near the play areas at Orchard Park it may help to prevent vandalism in this otherwise remote corner behind the recycling station and the changing rooms. See #31619 from the opposite end.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31617		The Highways Maintenance service access is at least 3.50 m wide between the electricity substation and the column in the pumping station wall. It already has one of the best flush kerbs in Orchard Park... As seen from the opposite side #31616 .	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31616		The Highways Maintenance service access is at least 3.50 m wide between the electricity substation and the column in the pumping station wall. As seen from the opposite side #31617	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31615		Ring Fort Path route as proposed by Orchard Park Community Cllr Blair. The even part of the embankment is 3.50 m wide behind the barriers, but narrows further down. See also #31619.	Cycleway: Good practice
31612		The bike racks that used to be here (see #28875) have gone! I hope they are replaced soon.	Cycle parking: Problem
31611		New bike racks along the wall near the Grand Arcade.	Cycle parking: Infrastructure
31610		No Entry Except Cycles, officially sanctioned by the DfT	General sign/notice: Good practice
31609		There is only one small bike rach on Trumpington street, and I have already had one bike stolen as I had to leave it elsewhere, and there is nowhere as far as I know nearby with CCTV either, we need more secure bike parking	Cycle parking: Problem
31608		Sixty centimetres of available space, I estimate, on the shared-use path adjacent to the A1309/Hauxton Road. These bushes could really do with a trim.	Cycleway: Problem
31607		Construction of the new platform at Cambridge Station	Other: Infrastructure
31605		What is going on here? Sloped access for wheelchairs, buggies and bikes (pushed, of course) has vanished.	Obstruction: Problem
31604		Getting somewhere? Roadworks without 'Cyclists Dismount' signs.	Roadworks: Good practice
31603		Getting somewhere? Roadworks without 'Cyclists Dismount' signs.	Roadworks: Good practice
31588		Ring Fort Road at Chieftain Way (which will host another hotel and a supermarket). Orchard Park Community Councillor and Chair of Governors at Orchard Park Community Primary School Clare Blair favours routing Ring Fort Path to the left, past the recycling station and closer to the playing fields. PLEASE SIGN OUR ePETITION: http://iitm.be/petitionRFP	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31587		Ring Fort Road in Orchard Park. To the left the pupils entrance to Orchard Park Community Primary School, to the right one of two hotels on this development.	Other: Infrastructure
31586		Orchard Park Community Councillor and Chair of Governors at Orchard Park Community Primary School Clare Blair and Cambridge Cycling Campaign Committee Member Vanessa Kelly inspecting possible routings for Orchard Path. See also http://iitm.be/OrchardPath	Other: Infrastructure
31544		Newly-surfaced track by the Busway, looking towards Cambridge Regional College	Cycleway: Good practice
31543		More bikes than racks. Overcrowded cycle parking outside the Department of Zoology. See also #31542	Cycle parking: Problem
31542		More cycle parking needed during examination periods. Overcrowding in the racks outside the Department of Zoology.	Cycle parking: Problem
31541		The blackbirds nested in the shrubbery above the cycle parking outside the Department of Zoology. Here the adult is feeding its large youngster at the back of the bike shed.	Other: Misc
31536		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG3filiT83o As you can see this is not a very friendly environment. Notice cars pulling across me at the last moment. I'm a confident rider, if you are anything else, I can't see you riding here.	Other: Misc
31535		see end of video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crp1_tRRBJM B16 NGB at the front of the queue is over the ASL. Yet another driver ignoring the law about ASLs. All too common. The Highway Code Rule 178: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070332 A bit earlier in the video you can't see but driver of AG08 UNV, is on their mobile phone.	Enforcement: Event
31479		New LED street lamp on Riverside Cambridge. Location: Chesterton, Cambridge (England, United Kingdom)	Road environment: Infrastructure
31451		No video! Lorry illegally blocking contraflow cyclelane. See more at http://radwagon.blogspot.com/2011/06/bateman-street.html	Enforcement: Event
31449		See full Bateman Street video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKGoNYAMOA This is what happens at school turnout in Bateman Street. In some ways it's a good example of what happens when so much traffic gets together and shares road space. Everything is at 5-10mph, nothing is faster. This is probably a good thing, actually. It makes all traffic work to the lowest common denominator, not just be bullied by fast moving vehicles. Of course, it's a tad irritating having cars pull into the cycle lane, especially as they get so tied up with no road space. More at http://radwagon.blogspot.com/2011/06/bateman-street.html	Congestion: Infrastructure
31448		No video! Illegal blocking of the contraflow cyclepath. See more at http://radwagon.blogspot.com/2011/06/bateman-street.html	Enforcement: Event
31447		See full video of Bateman Street at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN6fQcSLpGs This is what happens at school turnout in Bateman Street. In some ways it's a good example of what happens when so much traffic gets together and shares road space. Everything is at 5-10mph, nothing is faster. This is probably a good thing, actually. It makes all traffic work to the lowest common denominator, not just be bullied by fast moving vehicles. Of course, at the end, in the less crowded section there's a lovely example of a car stopped in the cycle contraflow (a big no-no!). I do what cyclists should do, especially if you see that 4x4 in the main road and the space left, and get off and walk down the pavement. The road is one-way the other way, so shouldn't be entered. Of course, most cyclists just pass as it's infuriating to have to dismount for a driver's illegal action. More at http://radwagon.blogspot.com/2011/06/bateman-street.html	Enforcement: Event
31442		Potholes on Lensfield Road	Pothole: Problem
31441		Pothole on Lensfield Road	Pothole: Problem
31438		Unveiling Cambridge's officially-sanctioned new No Entry Except Cycles signs	General sign/notice: Good practice
31435		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jngkJ-knGhQ Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 And for those saying I should use the cycle path, can I remind you of the advise from the Department of Transport (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/archive/2004/ltnwc/annexdcodeofconductnoticefor1688) which tells me I should not use it at my speed. I'm sure the pedestrians would agree with that, and I'd like to protect them too.	Enforcement: Event
31434		see video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVd-q8IuhYc Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31433		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9clPRnCBJ8 2 incidents in 2 days here! I pull out to the right of my lane as I'm turning right at the end. This car pulls out of the Rupert Brooke's restaurant, across the road into my road on my side. Some incredibly bad driving! And I spotted why the driver did this, they were trying to get ahead of other traffic. This driver should be able to see me, I can see them before they exit the carpark. I was forced to take evasive action as this driver left their car on the wrong side of the road. As I passed, there was just an open mouthed gawp of confusion. Almost a "what are you doing there?" look.	Enforcement: Event
31432		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4DZT2U1thI This pinch point is always interesting. I often pull out quite early to show myself to oncoming cars. I'm often doing 25mph+ here (in a 30mph limit) so should really, really been seen as a car! The car in this case did see me, although I did notice they only slowed when I pulled out. After the pinch point comes the close pass by a car from behind. Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31431		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la1IsQi-9bM I've learnt to avoid this section of road within a metre or so of the verge as it's very rough and leads to steering issues. This puts me in the middle of the road. Cars just assume they can pass whatever their speed and proximity. Essentially another example of an unengaged brain whilst controlling 1 ton of metal. Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31430		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpDuuenrEjs As I approach the parked cars I move to a position outside of the door zone (where opening doors hit cyclists) but are forced back in by car behind me just driving at my space. Then the van does the same thing. Even without that they're still too close. Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31429		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpDuuenrEjs As I approach the parked cars I move to a position outside of the door zone (where opening doors hit cyclists) but are forced back in by car behind me just driving at my space.

Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31428		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpS-XCIKJkg This is a regular event on this part of Grange Road. Cars waiting for someone to come out of Robinson College Halls park in the cycle lane, often taking away the pinch point cycle lane from cyclists. I'm sure Robinson College will have plenty of good PR when someone gets injured right outside their place.	Enforcement: Event
31427		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRm4GxQME3s This is probably a good display of lack of control. It's possible to postulate that the driver was doing something else in the car than just driving. As I arrived behind the waiting car, there was a long gap to the next car at the pinch point. Then the driver rapidly accelerates towards the pinch point dispite there being a oncoming car with priority. The driver only adjusts their driving at a time when it leads them over the pinch point line and has to pull into the cycle lane to get out of hte way of hte oncoming car.	Enforcement: Event
31426		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT2eNEF9F2w This road has parking spaces on the left side many of which are empty. I do not ride in the parking section as it's not seen as positive riding. Car drivers often miss anyone in these areas and fail to overtake properly. I still ride on the edge, so careful drivers can pass if there's room. However, poor drivers, like this Panther Taxi driver, don't give enough room. Oncoming traffic and "I must get past" attitude. Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 You'll notice that they got to the end of the road at the same time as me. So, additionally, pointlessly dangerous.	Enforcement: Event
31425		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRV96_m0W1A A couple of examples of dog owners simply not in control of their animals. The first one on their mobile phone blissfully unaware of all slowing down to pass the dog. The second one jogging ahead of their dog. Poor animal was blind to my arrival and got a scare. I was aware this might happen and rode to ensure I wouldn't do any harm.	Enforcement: Event
31417		Parking suspension for resurfacing on June 24 - yet half the work has been done by June 20. And other roads in Cambridge (the ones used by buses and heavy vehicles) need the work far more.	General sign/notice: Infrastructure
31411		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBBvMlpJLZU Again, with oncoming traffic there is no room to overtake. I'm doing about 18mph. Why overtake? Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 And for those saying I should use the cycle path, can I remind you of the advise from the Department of Transport (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/archive/2004/ltnwc/annexdcodeofconductnoticefor1688) which tells me I should not use it at my speed. I'm sure the pedestrians would agree with that, and I'd like to protect them too.	Enforcement: Event
31410		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iuuWZPWzRM Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31409		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkxrFu87MNw Coming up to the junction I pull into the right hand side of my lane, because I'm turning right. A car pulls round the corner and, open mouthed, drives straight at me. No thought of "Ah, I should pull in behind the parked car on my side of hte road and wait for the route to be clear". I do pull out of this car's way, to avoid being knocked down. I just wondering if this driver would od the same thing if I were a car. Somehow I think not. This can certainly be seen as breaking "Highway code rule 163" as the driver is not giving me the space they would a car. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
31408		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Fd_JvkjHc This is just far too close to me at this speed. And for no (poor) reason like oncoming traffic.	Enforcement: Event
31407		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0jKvxkjCO4 A fairly minor infringement. But as soon as the line goes, what's next? The Highway Code Rule 178: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070332	Enforcement: Event
31406		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS38B-9PvSE No, don't make me out to be something I'm not! This is what makes Cambridge a Cycling Demonstration Town. It shows that it's perfectly possible, and even empowering, to cycle round town dressed how you like. Cycling is not just for lycra-clad cycling nuts like myself.	Other: Good practice
31405		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWn32_TMPug Not so much of a SMIDSY (like most aren't!). The driver was looking right at me as they pulled out right in front of me.	Enforcement: Event
31404		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItT3arOPiT8 Maybe not quite what I'd normally be highlighting, but motorbikes going through Cambridge with excessive speed (i.e. well above the speed limit) are really getting my goat.	Enforcement: Event
31403		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87AQBv7J6Lo Again, with oncoming traffic there is no room to overtake. Also, the clip shows exactly how much was gained by this manoeuvre. None. I'm doing about 18mph. Why overtake? Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 And for those saying I should use the cycle path, can I remind you of the advise from the Department of Transport (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/archive/2004/ltnwc/annexdcodeofconductnoticefor1688) which tells me I should not use it at my speed.

31360		Lots of No Cycle Parking signs in this courtyard	Cycle parking: Problem
31359		Lots of cyclists during the Bumps	Bicycle: Event
31358		'Cyclists may have to dismount' - sensible signage.	General sign/notice: Good practice
31346		POTENTIAL PILE UP. There is a shared path for cyclists and pedestrians which runs along Trumpington Road from the Long Road junction to The Leys School. Where the route crosses cars exiting Chaucer Road (opposite Brooklands Ave) is problematic because of cyclists coming from 3 directions (no cars involved). Direction 1 - bikes coming along Trumpington Road shared path, Direction 2 - bikes coming out of Coe Fen by Chaucer Road and Direction 3, bikes crossing at traffic light junction coming from Brooklands Ave. One day, there's going to be a horrible mess as selfish or inexperienced cyclists all assume they have right of way. It needs sorting out. I have been cycling this route for nearly a decade and it is getting worse. The crunch time is between 8.15 and 8.45am - doesn't seem to happen at any other time of day. I believe I have written to you about this before.	Obstruction: Problem

31321		The Downing Site is full of rubbish cycle parking; can the County Council help the University improve the situation?	Cycle parking: Problem
31320		Cycle parking needed here - perhaps shift the car parking on Hooper Street up by one?	Cycle parking: Problem
31318		"Cyclists Dismount" sign in a contraflow cycle lane at roadworks. See #31317 for the view from the other side. The other side of the road contains fixed buildouts, meaning that it would be difficult to divert the lane around the obstruction. The obvious solution (were this a traffic lane) would be temporary traffic lights. In practice cyclists just ignore the dismount sign, bringing them and it into disrepute.	Obstruction: Problem
31317		"Cyclists Dismount" sign in a contraflow cycle lane at roadworks. Note that this photo is taken from the 'with-flow' side from which cyclists will be approaching on the road and not in the lane so there's nothing for them to dismount for! See #31318 for the view from the other side.	Obstruction: Problem
31316		Just for once, the Cyclists Dismount signs are justified.	General sign/notice: Infrastructure

31304		Wasn't the Addenbrooke's Access Road meant to end these queues?	Road environment: Event
31303		Illustration ot the area. From Histon to the Hotel, school and public areas of Orchard Park it is only 200 m distance with a descent of less than 9 m. Note: The yellow line is based on GPS tracking data, the red line indicates the proposed path. The path should follow the verge of the A14 slip road to behind the "Cambridge / Histon, Cottenham" road sign #31019 and than descent east-south-east into Ring Fort Road.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31302		Illustration ot the area. From Histon to the Hotel, school and public areas of Orchard Park have to walk and cycle 770 m distance all around this area to get there. Note that the shortcut section is not the ideal route, but where people are currently walking.	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31300		Kingston Arms	Destination: Misc
31299		Cambridge Cycling Campaign is proposing the addition of a shared-use path (marked in red) from the A14 crossing (south eastern side) alongside the A14 slip road, but behind the barriers and then into Ring Fort Road by the Premier Inn and Orchard Park School. The Orchard Park Design Guide stipulates in 5.8: "Careful treatment of the public realm should enhance the east-west connection along the commercial frontage, encouraging pedestrian and cycle movement to permeate through the site. This can be achieved by proposing active frontages, usable entrances and shared surfaces." PLEASE SIGN OUR ePETITION: http://iitm.be/petitionRFP	Cycleway: Infrastructure
31268		The county council has agreed to resurface Eltisley Avenue in September or October - though there are plenty of streets in Cambridge in worse condition.	Pothole: Infrastructure
