Cycle parking at the edge of Whitefriars shopping area. Sheltered by buildings above. Tucked away next to a service road.
When someone asked me what are the advantages of the Bickerton over the Brompton, I said "the 1970s and the 1980s".
This gate was provided after a successful campaign by parents to provide a useful rear entrance to the school. It is only unlocked at certain times, but means that children can arrive at the school along the cycle route rather than via the ... [more]
Here's another example of no entry except cycles. I'm not sure of the exact location but its near the Fallowfield Loop railway line in Manchester.
Cycle lane within bus lane. Note the way the bus lane red marking has only been added just either side of the line, thereby avoiding issues about streetscape appearance.

Hybrid cycle lane - cycle lane continues across junction, maintaining priority over sideroads.
Parking bay provided on other side of hybrid cycle lane. (Potential dooring zone issue but the cycle lane is wide.)
Merge from hybrid cycle lane back onto the road (in distance). Not quite clear why it needs to narrow.
Detail of slightly raised hybrid cycle lane continued from photo #17223. Seems to use a solid white line, so presumably is formally a MCL, as well as no park signs (not that space for unloading would be useful in this location).
See previous pictures #17222 and #17223. This is the continuation of the cycle lane. Notice how much road space has been given to non-car transport.
Interesting but apparently controversial road layout, where a bus zone on the left half of the road takes up most of the space, and all other traffic, including cycles goes to the right. Cyclists have a choice whether to go through the b ... [more]

Hybrid cycle lane - on-road but some protection from the traffic. Close up of detail of this particular solution. The raised height may not be the best solution for this kind of provision.

Well intentioned but useless cycle parking. The picture demonstrates how insecure this is. Totally unsuitable for leaving bikes overnight in what is a new residential development.
Contraflow at a toucan crossing. Road marking could be improved slightly to put the arrow further to the right in this picture.
NCN route signage. (NB the pole is actually straight; this photographic effect is due to the camera being moved while being taken.)
Pinch point; there is a space left to the left where a removable gate could be put back in place if motorbikes create problems.

The two white lines on this path show the wheelchair rest area, where the slope is evened out for a metre or two.
The cycle-tour of East Manchester at the spring conference of CTC/Cyclenation. This area is Ancoats and is being redeveloped, a 'shared-space' scheme is to be built here.
Of course the road is open to cyclists and pedestrians etc - but you wouldn't expect highway engineers to think about that.
