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.

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.

Drainage keeps cycle lane inundated. Needs fixing.

Milton Road Bus & Cycle Lane on a Friday morning 8:30 am.

The clever way to travel down Milton Road in rush hour. Some people prefer to queue for road space, others prefer to cycle....

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.

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.

How many poles do we really need? (Coton path, south side of West Cambridge site)

This gap in the sustrans path is apparently at the request of equestrians.

Bait's Bite Lock The steps here have channels to help bikes across. I think this picture was taken during a leisurely ride.

Narrow advisory cycle lane.

Barton Road cycleway.

Hills Road: approaching the junction with Brooklands Avenue.

Joining road at Histon Green. Filter lane to ASL box. Tricky when traffic is moving.

Crossing Garden Walk, Histon.

Even with large hedges, there is enough width for a car to nose out and the cyclist is able to go around them.

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.

Cut-through to Mayfield Primary School, off Histon Road

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]

View from the ramblers bridge to the railway bridge over the River Cam. This railway land should hopefully provide space for the Chisholm Trail. For a view from the southen bank of the Cam towards the ramblers bridge see #37498. For a view ... [more]

Stoney Lane, Toft

Green End road cycleway

The narrowest part of this grim shared use pavement, and buckled 'guard' railing.

A pity the new cycleway is interrupted by this unsurfaced layby

Cycleway gives way to farm access road.

Cycleway crosses road.

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. 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. 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.

A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Returning to pick up a dropped glove.

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.

Unusual cycle route in which the cycleway is on the raised section.

New cycleway to Impington, ending on the far side of the traffic calming

Cycleway east from Impington to nowhere in particular.

Start of cycleway from middle of nowhere towards Impington.

Yes, it's a cycle bypass- but it is wide and leads straight into an advisory cycle lane to the junction

Shared use path from Toft to Comberton

It's hard to see the point of this narrow shared-use cycleway.

Are there so many pedestrians here that cyclists need to be forced onto the carriageway?

Bridleway and new cycleway (to the guided busway bridge) alongside each other - how long until the bridleway is closed?

Are there really enough pedestrians to justify the obsession with keeping cyclists on the carriageway here?

Bridleway across the railway at Addenbrooke's Hospital - but how long will this remain open now there's a cycleway bridge?
