Pot hole directly in cycle path - remains unfixed despite complaints to council. Cyclists have to swerve into path of traffic to avoid.
What happens when there's not enough cycle parking: people park several spaces abreast, and bikes fall over. In this case, this is done to excess. And so bikes end up in the path of passing vehicles, with wheels being flattened.
The scene greeting visitors to Cambridge on their way from the railway station. An acute lack of secure cycle parking leads to bikes parked insecurely to the wooden railing, with the result of this vandalism. Eleven years later #37644 th ... [more]

The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout) when empty. The bay was designed for buses, not parking. Signs are confusing and need amending to enforce mandatory cycle la ... [more]
The dis-used bus stop was not designed as a car park. The parking sign (red line) indicates a car park where cars obstruct the pavement, the dropped kerb and the mandatory on-street cycle lane. This picture was taken on day two after Ian Gr ... [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.

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.
Even a double yellow line does not always stop motorists. This picture was taken one day two after Ian Greasley forwarded message to the "Local Authority Parking Enforcement" (LAPE) office at Cambridge City Council.
Yesterday's car has not been washed. Had it been moved? Ian Greasley, Senior Engineer wrote earlier today: "There are no funds at the present moment for any re-design of this lay-by even if it was warranted. There are however funds for ... [more]
When cyclists have to steer around the obstructing cars they are in danger of being hit by accelerating cars coming out of the Newmarket Road roundabout. The double yellow line needs to extend to the point where the dis-used bus stop is wid ... [more]
East Road. Cyclists leaving the subway cycleway bypass round the Newmarket Rd roundabout have to stear around street furniture. This rainy day Mr Mondeo took care of blocking the dropped kerb, despite of the big bicycle painted right in fro ... [more]
Hand over all your carrots if you want to get through! (The National Trust's Konig ponies are supposed to be wild, but they're getting street-wise.)
"But Grantchester! ah, Grantchester! There's peace and holy quiet there" - Rupert Brooke

Close-up of the Musician in the bin. Apparently he eventually had his £600 bin stolen when he hadn't put it away properly one night.
The cycle parking here was designed to stop skateboarders using this entrance area to an historic university site for honking and back-flips.
Dismounting on a cycleway. For drivers this is the equivalent of having to get out of your car and push! This obstruction badly lets down the Cambridge South East Cycle Route - which was built in the early 1990s as an alternative the the b ... [more]
I repainted this bike by hanging the frame and letting the paint drip down it. I gave it the name: Pollock
These parasol type hanging 'designer' cycle parking, known as 'meathooks', were so unpopular they were replaced after only a few months.

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...

Roadworks sign - was anyone aware that this would force cyclists into the path of oncoming taxis from the station, SUVs from St Mary's school etc ?
Garbage collection - there's barely enough room to get past this city council refuse vehicle.
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!
Awkward pram-handles removed after complaints over several years by the Campaign - success! This junction point is now much easier to pass for both cyclists and walkers. Compare with before: #9023

The cycle bridge over the railway near Cambridge Station. Also known as the Carter Bridge.
One technique that is sometimes used to steal bikes is to lock a bike to another one. The miscreant comes along later at a quieter time of day, cuts through the other lock and takes both bikes away. This is called 'over-locking'. I don't ... [more]
Elizabeth Road / Milton Road roundbout. Shared use pavement signate at Highworth Avenue is confusing.
Simon demonstrating how to take a spare bike home and keep both hands on the handlebars.
Long Rd cycle underpass on Aug 7th. All the box sections are in place and work has started on 'wing walls'

Local Authority Parking Enforcement (LAPE) in action. Though it looked as if the driver, who had picted up a coffee from the former bicycle store at the corner of Hills Road got away with it. LAPE acts on double yellow line, it does not mat ... [more]
