20 years after we started campaigning for it, Cambridge Station's new bike park is now officially OPEN!
The Great Kneighton Cyclebahn between Long Road and Trumpington. The morning rush in Cambridge, see also #49023.
Start of new segregated cycle track on Hills Road, Cambridge - one side only, so presumably southbound cyclists will be on the footway to the left, ie effectively riding on the right.
Now completed, I think, the cycle track and floating bus stops northbound along Hills Road. Work on the southbound track begins in January 2016.
Path lighting in a way which doesn't dazzle users. Perhaps this should be used for the guided bus path.
Ready made route for the Chisholm Trail on the eastern side of the railway track by the station. Picture taken from Carter Bridge looking south towards Clifton Road. This could potentially be the space for a second entrance and ticket hall ... [more]

The ride to the Cambridge Cycling Campaign's 20th birthday picnic - waiting to cross Coldham's Lane in small groups.

The Cam-side cycle path snapped by a camera suspended from a kite. The path is narrow and shared with all manner of riverside users - it can get congested on sunny days in the summer. Careful use of the bell keeps the shared route usable mo ... [more]
Rush hour in Cambridge during the Easter holidays. Series of pictures of everyday cyclists taken on a Wednesday morning in April between 8:40 am and 9:10 am. Cyclists on the path by the river Cam, see also #36582.
The bridge has separate crossings for cyclists and pedestrians. Whether peds will not choose to walk on the 'cycle' side remains to be seen.

The bridge next to the Fort St. George in England. Much better than the old situation back in 2003, see #4107.
Rising bollards, Bridge Street, northbound. Single 'No entry' sign ('Except authorised buses and taxis') on the central reservation; 'Cycle lane' sign beside bypass.
Wheeler Street The yellow sign warns of the closed through route on Corn Exchange Street to Downing Street.
Supposedly these new stands allow higher density cycle parking than the Sheffield stands that were here before.
Closed again. Evidently over the weekend a motor vehicle has crashed into the rising bollard here and shed oil over the road. I was forced to use the unsatisfactory cycle bypass for the first time!
This fair's example shows that if stalls are set back from the path there is no reason to stop Parker's Piece remaining open to cycling during such events.

Although this is one of the busiest cycle routes in Cambridge, cyclists can go to hell as far as the temporary traffic lights at this junction are concerned. Temporary lights control access from both directions on Tenison Road, St Barnab ... [more]
