See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juTclJhkC-4 This van spots me coming along my side of the road and slows to ensure I can travel correctly. I move right over and wave them forward to give back to them as much as possible. We w ... [more]

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS38B-9PvSE No, don't make me out to be something I'm not! This is what makes Cambridge a Cycling Demonstration Town. It shows that it's perfectly possible, and even empowering, to cycle ro ... [more]

The heated ramp on the cycle bridge is effective - shame about the snow and slush on Rustat Road
All the cycling-related problems of previous years with the Cambridge On Ice development have in my view been solved, which is great. Good quality, secure cycle parking is now provided (they also have some rubbish wheelbenders, but (unsu ... [more]

Reasonably good crossing at Queen's Road, the design of which was improved after the intervention of the Campaign.
