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.
See clip at http://youtu.be/ACRXCcwGKrk Again, this is more of a criticism of the poor road layout here. It's designed to take drivers into the cyclelane. The worn paintwork shows testimony to this. This junction was designed a couple of ... [more]

See clip at http://youtu.be/Wimd834uKZ4 Wow! The cyclelane here has been adjusted. Have some in the roads department been watching my clips? I doubt it. No, it's much more likely that the substandard cyclelane, painted only a few months ... [more]
Even with large hedges, there is enough width for a car to nose out and the cyclist is able to go around them.
Solar light unit installed on Cottenham to Histon cyclepath. Lifetime is apparently 5 years.
New toucan crossing on Hills Road bridge leading to cycleway to... nowhere, at the moment.
Jim Chisholm proposes a zigzag route build with gabions to enforce the embankment and reduce the costs of a "Ring Fort Path" down to the play area.
Route under the railway bridge, near where the Chisholm Trail might pass. To view the approach to the narrow, underpath bridge >> #37651<<.

The enclosure by Stourbridge Common, looking towards the railway. For the view from the ramblers bridge side see >> #37497<<.

Old pill box could obstruct the Chisholm Trail. Picture taken from the fishing lake towards the backend of Newmarket Road shop. For a view from the end of nearby Coldhams Road trading estate >> #37475 <<.
There are plenty of (blocked) arches under Coldhams Lane bridge, here the western side by Henley Road. Freeing one of these for cyclists and pedestrians should be good for the shops either side. For a view of these bridge arches from the Be ... [more]
Moss Bank could give the Chisholm Trail access to the Science Park railway station. Not sure what the three white pillars behind the fence are, but the door makes me think they require maintenance. View from the Moss Bank link south towards ... [more]
This good size arch under Coldhams Lane bridge (eastern side) should be used for the Chisholm Trail. See the southern side of the archway >> #37451<<.
The northern Newmarket Road railway bridge has spare arches, see also #36528 and #36527. The southern bridge would require drilling to create a way through. View just south of the Newmarket Road railway bridge >> #37479 <<.
Possible route for the Chisholm Trail using largely existing infrastructure. Here on a trading estate at the end of Coldham's Road, to the east of the railway lane and backing onto private land and or Coldhams Common (for the approx locatio ... [more]
