Milton Road Bus & Cycle Lane on a Friday morning 8:30 am. Now wait for the guided bus....
The clever way to travel down Milton Road in rush hour. Some people prefer to queue for road space, others prefer to cycle...
The rising bollards in the Cambridge Retail park (presumably required by its planning consent) have apparently been out of action for months - the black car has just driven through.
Looking northbound on Sedgwick Street, the junction with Wettenhall Road is on the left.
A car overtakes a southbound cyclist on the northern section of Sedgwick Street. There is arguably just enough room to do this safely.
Cars follow a bicycle down Sedgwick Street, this photo clearly shows there is no room to safely overtake (though it doesn't stop some motorists trying).
Looking southbound on Sedgwick Street cars usually hang back along here behind cyclists.
Cycling southbound on Sedgwick Street. This cyclist is wisely cycling well away from the car doors on both sides of this street.
Crowded out? Two-way cycling on Sedgwick Street Should this currently prohibited activity now be permitted?
Farm tracks adjacent to the bridge, which could perhaps form a basis for the bypass under consideration.
A car appears over the bridge summit. From another position 15 metres from the summit, I estimated that a vehicle became visible from about 20 metres beyond the summit.
Bridge with car disappearing from view. The roadway narrows steadily to rather narrow at the summit, and the vegetation is thick and close on both sides.
A bike outside its comfort zone - being abused for this rather tacky advertising. The city council has a policy that A-boards have to be licensed - so some advertisers get around it by using bikes like this, but I don't think it does the ... [more]
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IUl0VQzFGE Breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 But this more about the poor way this infrastructure works here. It actua ... [more]
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdsESuqYz0Y A short clip showing an effective safety technique.
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3znGiNG6uUg A Really Good Pass! 0:01 Car approaches from behind but can't see so hangs well back. 0:05 I can see and indicate for car to pass 0:09 Driver can see 0:11 Driver passes accordi ... [more]
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdrtzl1mRU4 I haven't put one of these up recently, so I thought it time. This street clearly has very little space. As a lorry approaches he slows down and tries to make as much room on my ... [more]
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGOO5nPHV7Y Highway Code Rule 140 (backed up in law) http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070308 You MUST NOT drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white l ... [more]
Very wide splays at this junction, and the approach of big lorries from Mercer's Row make this an un-necessarily hostile environment.
See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbTBjWRzH9c I'm riding along the westbound carraigeway of Bateman Street and come up behind a taxi ("VP55 YPV" license 332). At 6 seconds you can see a cyclist (with lights, my camera doesn't pi ... [more]
Building the Ring Fort Path requires a redesigned crossing here. http://www.camcycle.org.uk/campaigning/issues/ringfortpath/
Despite quite long anti-pedestrian surfacing this doesn't stop some determined people using this rail crossing of the river as a short cut.
Meeting of City Council, County Council, Cambridge Cycling Campaign and Cambridgeshire CTC about the Perne Road roundabout plans.

The Cambridge Half-marathon - motorcycle marshall checking up on the manually controlled crossing.
The Cambridge half-marathon - Queen's Road closed southbound, light traffic northbound.
Update: these lines were removed on night of 1/3/2012, so the problem is now resolved. Cycle lane repainted on night of 28/2/2012, and now goes right the way up to the roundabout instead of stopping short. See also: how it previously st ... [more]

One of the traffic lights that used to face Chesterton Road (next to the Folk Museum in the photo) has been moved. It's now on the traffic island in Chesterton Road at a point where it is hard for pedestrians to see whether it's safe to cro ... [more]
Odd arrangement - a double road closure, so that the houses in the middle have no road access at all.
Flakes fall through the flash, here's our tandem for the treacherous mile journey home. Its a covering of snow on a previous snow fall that had not fully melted away. Quite easy to lose control but we stayed on almost all the way home befor ... [more]
View of an advanced stop line from the excllent Thai pub known as the Wrestlers. Light snow is falling.
Waiting to turn right into Purbeck Road from Hills Road, to get to the sixth form college. Road markings have disappeared and there's no central lane marking to help the hundreds of cyclists who need to make this maneouvre every day.
Turning right into Purbeck Road to access the cycle parking for Hills Road Vi form college. There's little in the way of road markings here, and those that are supposed to be present, such as the cycle lane in the foreground have all but di ... [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNxv2hY6it8 The entrance to this cycle path is very limited and requires great care when coming onto and off the road. I need to cycle into the middle of the road to be able to take the corner, ... [more]
Riders emerge from the central cycle lane off Hills Road bridge - away from the dangers of the left turning traffic.
Narrow sidewalk leads to overflow pedestrians endangering cyclists. Previous to fencing in this area was relatively open car parking (Peugeot) which took some pressure from the sidewalk
Rather unusual one-way system in a residential area - but then again this is a private development.
A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. Track was a bit narrow and slippy for the small wheels of a Brompton here.

Bikes parked in Sturton Street, but the drainpipe has a funny sign, detailed in #35149.
Vehicle stalled by parked delivery van. Even pedestrians and this cyclist had difficult passing.
Logistics at worst. This photo was taken the day before even longer trailers were permitted. How come we have a system that allows this, but bans southbound bikes here?
A welcome new "Give Way" marking has been added at this junction after complaints that the priorities were the wrong way round.
Deep sloping gutter, massive high kerb. Why? just round the corner on the busway access is exemplary low kerb with drainage into the length of the kerb-stones.
