FeedPhoto listing showing cycleparking
The highest rated, most recent photos are listed first. See also photomap view.
This listing only shows photos within a square radius of 15 kilometres of the centre of Cambridge.
Go to the national CycleStreets photo listings for photos beyond.
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.
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.
The battle to eliminate wheel benders from Cambridge gets a massive punch in the face from this Boxing Club which has bodged some of the worst cycle racks in modern times against this Victorian era building.
Space has been found for these well-used cycle racks adjacent to a doctors' surgery. See also #35358
Its great to see some proper cycle parking outside my doctor's surgery at last. Perhaps I can forgive him for driving an oversized performance car with a personalized number-plate now? Hmmm maybe not!
The excellent cycle parking outside this supermarket seems close to capacity. In contrast see this nearby supermarket: #35339
This newly opened supermarket does not seem to have provided any cycle parking for customers. In contrast see this nearby supermarket: #35343
The 'phone boxes outside this former telephone exchange seem battered, ignored, and redundant. There's a huge demand for cycle parking in this area, as these signs confirm.
This supermarket did not provide any cycle parking for customers, and nor did the city council enforce its own planning regulations that would have forced it to find a solution. Hence there is a bike leaning against the shop, not properly s ... [more]
Lots of bikes cling to the balcony supports in this relatively new development. Clearly the cycle parking that was provided, (see nearby photos or e.g. #35319 and #35317) has been inadequate. It would have seemed easy in a new developmen ... [more]
Complicated wall mounted cycle racks in a ground level car park. Why ordinary Sheffield-style cycle parking couldn't be used here is beyond me. If you look carefully you'll notice that one of the racks in the middle of the photo has come aw ... [more]
By counting the blockwork, which are usually 10x20 cm, I estimate these racks on this fairly recent development have been placed at only 50 cm spacing. This is not what is in the planning guidance and means that space is wasted here.
This supermarket was allowed to open on this site without providing any cycle parking. For years the building next door (out of shot to the right, but see #17250) has had NO CYCLE PARKING signs affixed to its railings. This is another bl ... [more]
A bicycle clings to a lamppost in a residential street where all the gardens seem to have become car parks.
"Any Bike Found Chained to these Railings will be removed without notice and disposed of" 2 Hills Road, Encore Estates
Unsecured overflow college bike parking. Leads to crowded sidewalk. "The school should have space for all the bikes of the students" (Note the empty space behind the wooden fence)
Bikes parked along Purbeck road, obstructing sidewalk, many badly secured, all avoiding or excluded from on campus bike parking
Cycle parking overflowing at the Fitzwilliam Museum. Its especially busy because its the last few days of the Vermeer's Women exhibition. The white sign on the A board is washed out by reflection of the sun, but it reports that 'Cycle th ... [more]
The worst kind of cycle parking, concrete wheel benders, two of which have been 'upgraded' with a wall anchor point. Grim. This is outside a nursery school.
Overflow parking at Grand Arcade cycle park. Every available bit of wall space take up with bikes. No signs warning cyclists not to do this, so it is seemingly tolerated. (Shh!)
Excellently located cycle parking - right outside the front door of this apartment hotel.
Bicycles not at all catered for in this housing development which dates (I guess) from the 1980s. Unfriendly NO CYCLES signs also scatter the development further eroding the happiness of this unwelcoming site.
Dismal failed cycle parking crammed in as a rubbishy after-thought onto the narrow space in front of parked cars.
Some rather ugly and incompetently installed cycle parking at this pharmacy. Looks as though it has been sited to prevent car parking.
Good quality stainless steel cycle parking at a motorists discount store cum bikeshop.
This doesn’t show the full extent of it, but bikes were parked on every available immovable object on Saturday at the Mill Road Winter Fair.
Pink and green saddle covers to promote a local restaurant. http://www.bills-website.co.uk/
Overflowing with bikes! Many towns and cities in the UK are envious of Cambridge's level of cycling, but here the council has been slow to understand and respond to the demand with the result that cyclists are blamed for blocking access.
Bikes crammed into this staircase area off St. Edward's Passage - which was recently developed with some lovely old wooden beams.
Cycle parking in use outside the Punter public house in Cambridge. This was recenlty installed see #24479. In fact it is over capacity as bikes are parked against the wall and to the street name. (Sorry about the rather dark image.)
Brand new Sheffield stands in front of the Chemistry department, already in use although the access hasn't been finished yet.
The paint on these racks has mostly been scratched away within about a year of use, otherwise useful racks.
