FeedPhoto listing showing cycleways
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.
New cycle lane: between a wheel and a sharp buildout. The red tarmac is <1.20m. The zigzag is 1.5m in its extremes, but where the pavement juts out the width falls to 1.3m.
"Roadworks at the top of the cycle ramp coming out of the Elizabeth Way / Newmarket Rd roundabout underpass going onto Elizabeth Way itself on the left hand side (by CRC)." "The alternative route to the left side of Elizabeth Way involves ... [more]
After writing several times to the authorities I still encounter cars obstructing this part pretty much every afternoon I pass Eastroad. The disused bus stop needs re-designing.
Looking towards Hobson Street from King Street. This is one of the most explicit examples of a cycle route going directly between two No Entry signs. The absence of a "cyclists exception " panel underneath the No Entry signs here co ... [more]
Worst possible provision: pavement cycleway where motor vehicles constantly cross or park on the footway.
Milton Road ASL and MCL are frequently invaded by cars. ¿Park & Ride? The red box is popular with taxis #9119, vans #16094, cars #17399 and the police #17438.
The upper end of Downhams Lane, near the Rees Thomas School, just before the cycle path to Hawkins Road. The College Field Development did not use this road and the Council Planners did not want to integrate this lane with its mature trees ... [more]
This is where cars often park invading pavement and the mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout), forcing cyclist into the car lane. This bay was designed as a bus stop, not parking.
What possible reason could there be for adding a bollard here, directly next to a fence? See also photo #8778 .
The clever way to travel down Milton Road in rush hour. Some people prefer to queue for road space, others prefer to cycle....
The infamous East Road layby - the new broken white line has helped but it was quickly worn away and infringements began again - now I see it's been repainted. Maybe it'll last longer this time!
The cycle bridge over the railway near Cambridge Station. Also known as the Carter Bridge.
Long Rd cycle underpass on Aug 7th. All the box sections are in place and work has started on 'wing walls'
Typical situation on Hills Road. What are MCLs good for if cars (number plate AK55 BCF ) stand / stop and even park in them?
Milton Road just after rush hour. Typical situation with on pavement "cyclists give way at every crossing" cycle way.
As ever, the barriers really shouldn't be here. However, the path provided is very direct and very useful. An excellent example of a 1960s/70s design feature which has somehow been forgotten in more modern developments in Cambridge.
There are many cycle routes in Kings Hedges. They are not all wide enough or smooth enough, but they score well for pervasiveness.
The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout) when empty. Signs on the bay are confusing and need amending to enforce mandatory cycle lane.
The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout). This part of the Ring Road is an important cycling route, but poorly designed and often obstructed. Signs are confusing and ... [more]
East Road. Cyclists leaving the subway cycleway bypass round the Newmarket Rd roundabout have to stear around street furniture to the dropped kerb, around illegally parked cars - avoiding collision with cars coming from the roundabout.
Victoria Avenue Toucan Crossing 2. The poles on the Midsummer Common (East) side make for a very tight turn onto the shared pavement, often in the face of people coming the opposite way. Unsurprisingly, many people follow the path ta ... [more]
Here's a motorist who thinks that shared-use footpaths are not for walkers or cyclists, they're for cars. It was still there an hour and a half later.
Reliability: Outspoken's bikes can reach parts of the city other courier companys can't. Whatever the congestion elsewhere, their journey times are predictable.
This short section of cycle lane has finally been re-instating after further lobbying of the city council.
Is there really a need for ELEVEN bollards/posts? This is hardly the 'accessible, barrier-free environment' required by government policy.
The Night Survey Group at Gonville Place / Gresham Road junction where posts have sprung up everywhere. http://www.camcycle.org.uk/map/gallery/67/
The policy with bollards is to set them in 500mm from the pavement. In addition these bollards are 100mm wide, so a total of 600mm (two feet) or roughly 33% is lost from the width of this pavement. See how its done in Amsterdam at: #113 ... [more]
Bait's Bite Lock The steps here have channels to help bikes across. I think this picture was taken during a leisurely ride.
A crummy 'cycleway' outside a school. Riders have to give way to side road traffic, whereas riders on the road can zip along unhindered.
Gritted cycleway down to Riverside - the footway had a light covering of snow. Sorry about the dark image - from my 'phone.
Sorry about the picture quality but it was cold, wet and getting dark. At least it gives a flavour of the cycle path here.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. New cycleway between Sawston and Babraham.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. A horse mounting block on the bridleway. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This horse mounting block is the first hard evidence we've seen that this is a bridleway (and hence legitimately cyclable).
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Hard to know whether this bit of the footpath has recently been upgraded to bridleway status - its so narrow that it doesn't feel like it.
The surface here is OK for small wheelers like this Brompton, but gets slippy and rougher further along.
Although the sign says footpath it seems to have been upgraded to a bridleway, see #35260.
This farm track now seems to have been upgraded to a bridleway according to the notices pinned on the post, but not according to the visible signage in the area.
This seems to be the cycleway towards Addenbrooke's. The no-entry sign is presumably for the yet-to-be-built road on the left.
At last! a year after Grange Road was resurfaced, the cycle lanes have been replaced.
It's clear that moving the central reservation across by 1.5m would create space for a much-needed cycle lane on Hills Road
Many cyclists create their own advance stop line at the lights on Hills Road - needs to be formalised in the clear interest of safety and convenience
It's clear that moving the central reservation across by 1.5m would create space for a much-needed cycle lane on Hills Road
Yes, it's a cycle bypass- but it is wide and leads straight into an advisory cycle lane to the junction
The bypass is bad enough- but why on earth does the start of it have "give way" markings?
Awful cycle bypass round a rising bollard. Insane tactile paving. No idea what the sign post is.
Southbound "bypass" at the rising bollard at the Railway station bus interchange. Vehicles coming out of the dropping off area have priority over any cyclists that use this! Compare this to a different solution for a similar situation in O ... [more]
