What happens when there's not enough cycle parking: people park several spaces abreast, and bikes fall over. In this case, this is done to excess. And so bikes end up in the path of passing vehicles, with wheels being flattened.
The scene greeting visitors to Cambridge on their way from the railway station. An acute lack of secure cycle parking leads to bikes parked insecurely to the wooden railing, with the result of this vandalism. Eleven years later #37644 th ... [more]
The cycle parking here was designed to stop skateboarders using this entrance area to an historic university site for honking and back-flips.
These parasol type hanging 'designer' cycle parking, known as 'meathooks', were so unpopular they were replaced after only a few months.
Rounded A cycle parking alongside the Guildhall. This picture was used in Central Government literature about cycle parking.
One technique that is sometimes used to steal bikes is to lock a bike to another one. The miscreant comes along later at a quieter time of day, cuts through the other lock and takes both bikes away. This is called 'over-locking'. I don't ... [more]
Opportunistic cyclists use the skip as a temporary place to park while visiting the pub opposite.
Inadequate cycle parking at Tesco, Newmarket Road. 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 ... [more]
This is an area of high levels of cycle theft. Yet not a single cycle parking stand is available, despite literally hundreds of insecure bikes being left against walls. Car parking on the opposite site of the road should be selectively remo ... [more]
Amongst the highest quality cycle parking in Cambridge, outside the computer laboratory on the West Cambridge Site. Features: covered cycle racks on a hard surface, lit at night, and looks amazing.
Bumper-to-bumper residential car parking available, but not a spot of residential cycle parking, with bikes parked insecurely against very many houses here.
Nowhere to park bikes here (officially), but such an obvious need, and there\'s plenty of space.
Q: Where's my bike? A: Probably been nicked! Please complain about this hopeless and insecure cycle parking.
Hopeless wheelbender cycle parking! The front wheel was locked to the rack, but the rest of the bike has gone. Often a front wheel of another bike will have been purloined to make up a whole bike.
Bikes often fall over when locked to 'Sheffield' style stands. This happens because as the neighbouring bikes are parked and unparked the bike is jostled and the cycle lock works its way down the leg of the stand.
Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Bike at this angle put some strain on the lock making it hard to get unlocked and off.
To answer one query about the trials of two-tier parking at Cambridge station, yes, on this model at least there is an attachment to lock the frame to.
The two-tier cycle stands on trial at Cambridge station seem to have not just replaced some existing Sheffield stands, but also taken some car park space.
Bikes overflowing across the road from the girls' school - because virtually every bike now has a basket, only half the otherwise adequate provision of cycle stands can be used....
The Missing Sock, once a failing pub in the middle of nowhere, now has a new lease of life and decent cycle parking.

Access to the cycle parking at Reach Fair was through this dismounted gate into a trampled-down meadow. The gate got very muddy and slippy.
Katrina's second go with the double decker cycle parking is much more confident. (See first attempt at #37646.)
Katrina tries the new double-decker cycle racks for the first time, with some success. See #37647 for her next try.
I took a very similiar photo to this, in this location 11 years ago, see #9351. The main difference between the two is that the new fence doesn't have gaps, presumably to discourage using that for bike parking.
Cambridge Station Cycle Parking New toast rack style cycle stands. These are not visible from or signed from the station entrance; many fly-parked bikes were just round the corner see #38053 however this was a few days after they wer ... [more]
Cambridge Station Cycle Parking Test new double decker cycle parking. The upper racks pull out, then can be dropped to a 45 degree angle for bikes to be removed. The near row has no piston to assist tipping the upper racks the f ... [more]
Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Cycle parking space is in such demand that cycles have been piled up around the new structure and against its sides.
Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Shows the lock bracket. When the rack is tipped for access strain is put on the lock which can make it hard to undo. Also having the lock here, it is by the muddy an ... [more]
Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Showing usage - someone has locked a helmet to their bike.

Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Rack pulled out ready to receive bike.
Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. Handlebars clashing making it hard to get rack back into place with bike on it.
Experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. From this position the rack can either be pushed in, or pulled down.
Notice regarding installation of experimental double decker cycle parking at Cambridge station. This sign probably wasn't actually there before the work; if it was it wasn't prominent as a number of people's bikes were removed unexpecte ... [more]
Two-tier cycle racks installed at Cambridge station 1-5-2012. The notice alongside suggests that this is part of a scheme to replace some or all of the existing stands.
Relegated and useless this discarded cycle parking adds a note of decay to this industrial estate's car park.
The Black Horse, Swaffham Bulbeck - covered area with laundry airer, bike stands outside, but cyclists prefer to leave their bikes under cover!
Cycle parking at Cambridgeshire County Council HQ. Note the toast rack style stands which have not required excavation. This is one of two new covered bike racks in the area, the other is longer.
New cycle parking provided by the Nature Reserve bus stop, by the RSPB. Unusual variation of the Sheffield stand.
The infamous 'premier racks' at Cambridge Station. Half full as usual, whereas every available bit of wall (that is not a police station) is used for parking.
Current cycle provision at Hexcel Ltd (on a secure site). There's a second near-identical shack a few metres away. Nasty wheel banding closely space racks. A new shelter and racsk are on order. Thanks to a timely intervention, the Cambridge ... [more]
Minibus Parking painted out and replaced with cycle parking - at last, some decent provision at Comberton Village College!

Another cyclist arrives with empty basket at the heavily used cycle parking outside this local supermarket.
St. Andrew's Church, Chesterton, reflected in St. Andrew's House. Some cycle parking a little too close to a fence that is also used as a local billboard.
