Quite a lot of cyclists turn right onto the footway between Regents Terrace and Regent Street. There would actually be space for a segregated lane, but the junction at the end would be problematic.
Parkside students are mostly incapable of not cutting across the grass here (a well-worn trail).
Cyclists waiting to turn right from Regent Terrace to Gonville Place - tricky, but at least traffic speeds are mostly low. The child on the right is just sitting on the bike's rack.
Rush hour on Parker's Piece - a surprising number of cyclists come across the diagonal and turn left to the Gonville Place crossing.
08.40 - almost no traffic at the Catholic Church junction, thanks to an accident at the Royal Cambridge Hotel roundabout. If only the rush hour was always like this!
Rush-hour collision at the Royal Cambridge Hotel roundabout - cyclists getting through, other traffic backed up way down the Barton Road.
Rush-hour accident at the Royal Cambridge Hotel roundabout - clearing up a cyclist's bits and pieces. Five or six emergency vehicles, major congestion.
Conflict at the new Parker's Piece gate - the near cyclist nipped through and swerved around to the right of the cycle stands.
Conflict at the Parker's Piece gate - this little chap was dawdling and his mother wasn't paying attention.
Pathetic excuse for cycle stands outside The Mitre. I think that's 5 bikes to 1 stand here; the county average is 2:1 for Sheffields and that's how I'd like it to remain, though 1:1 would be very nice indeed.
Steps put in here to inconvenience cyclists, wheelchair-users, people with wheeled suitcases etc - presumably to save them from themselves on the slope into Paddington station.
No Cycling (sign in the dark to the right) on the access to Paddington station from Paddington Basin.
Paddington Basin - if the surface wasn't loose chippings it'd be useful for cyclists.
St Mary's Hospital, Paddington - a long motorbike rank to the right, lots of cars ahead, surely there's acres of space for cycle stands in front of the blocked-up doorways to the left?
Cut-through from St Mary's Hospital, Paddington - room for cycle parking to the right.
After our developer day Shaun needed to confirm his adventurous spirit by cycling all the way back to south London through the night. About to set off he has equipped himself with large quantities of chocolate, water and cake.

Simon on a 1913 tricycle. This trike twice held the record for Land's End to London in the early part of the twentieth century.
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.
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.
Pot hole directly in cycle path - remains unfixed despite complaints to council. Cyclists have to swerve into path of traffic to avoid.
This is the location of the start of the Friday Rides. Its on the Stourbridge Common side of Green Dragon Bridge, Cambridge. Zoom the map out to see the local area.
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]
The Gherkin in the distance, the Plough in the foreground, from this elevated vantage point.
Turn left ahead for the Station 0.25 miles. Straight on for Addenbrooke's 1.5, Cherry Hinton 2.25
