Cycling Infrastructure in Cambridge - How the other half live

[@peterjones3557]

Some good stuff there! The roundabout's a work of art, but a lot of narrow obstacle courses.

I have cycled most of the routes that you showed in Cambridge during my 30 years of cycle commuting. A lot of the infrastructure is very new, and the plans for greenways out to the surrounding villages are generally brilliant - you should come back to see what's been built in a few years time! I must also say, that London also seems to be doing a good job of promoting cycling.

I love how I thought a bike turning lane beside a biking straight lane was awesome, only to be braingasmed straight away from a roundabout

[@amandajane8227]

I was really impressed by the bike right tun lane too. How great it would be to have this sort of cycling infrastructure where I live in Australia.

[@OGLanzo2]

@@amandajane8227 heh, American roads have bikes in the same lane, most of the time. Very few places have a small lane beside traffic. I wish cyclist didn’t have to use the same roads as drivers that way. A small highway near where I live, has crossing roads with bikes in the car lanes. I don’t like the dangers that can come with that

[@PaulDeach]

Yeah neat right

[@PaulDeach]

They mentioned that they had a delegation of Australians over to take a look so ya never know

[@DominicBatstone]

Be interested to see if shared use paths have priority to cross side roads or not. That's one reason why the bike infrastructure through Walton on Thames town is a failure.

Sadly, many don't, though those installed (or upgraded) more recently tend to be better. Many such shared use paths also have a cycle lane on the road alongside them, so faster and more confident cyclists can still keep up a decent pace. It's not yet fully inclusive (protected) by any means, but it's getting there. A nod to Cambridge Cycle Campaign (Camcycle) for their great representation in and around our city.

If where I lived cycling was that good I’d cycle a lot more
