Flooded cycle parking

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....

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.)

New cycle parking being installed on St Philips Road. Three sheffield style racks.

Cambridge station on Christmas Day - no trains, no cars, but plenty of bikes - what does that tell us?

The Cycle Parking location for Reach Fair 2010. Lets hope there's not been too much rain the day before!

Cycle Parking area for Reach Fair ride. This is very close to the fair itself, and cycles can be locked to the wire fence on the left. Most riders will be in groups and will want to lock bikes to each other. Access is through this gat ... [more]

Proposed location of Cycle Parking for Reach Fair 2010 ?

Restored these cycle racks are now back! This is what they looked like in 2005: #2191 Then they disappeared when Jamie's Italian restaurant came to town in Jan. 2010: #20479 and in Feb a notice went up threatening removal of bikes: #213 ... [more]

This bike has been 'parked' like this for a couple of days.
