A cyclist has been knocked off by a car - police in attendance, but no serious injuries, as far as I could tell.
New cycle parking at Churchill College - and a sign saying No Cycling Inside The College, even from here to the road. This parking area is nowhere near anything except for one accommodation block.
Windsor Road to the left is a short dead-end road - so why not make motor vehicles stop and give priority to the through cycle route, rather than ruining it with an expensive 'improvement' ?
Sign for the hikers' Via Francigena - cyclists are meant to go up the hill to the left, but a contraflow would be fine here.
The Via Francigena passes under the railway on this not entirely unused road (ie there's a car coming just around the corner).
Salford Temporary road opening to encourage cycling and walking . Another barrier is located at the T junction further up the road.
[Image taken 30.11.21] Water End junction with Government House Road, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] Reported yesterday, wound with hi-viz tape today. Context and links #176249.
Appalling road crossing on the Via Francigena, and totally unsigned - cross the main road, turn left then either come through this gap and turn sharp right, or go to the far end of the barrier and come back.
Appalling road crossing on the Via Francigena, and totally unsigned - come down the road in the background, turn left then either come through this gap and turn sharp right, or go to the far end of the barrier and come back.

The "Chain Briggie" (Wellington Suspension Bridge) built in 1830 now carries National Cycle Route 1 over the River Dee in Aberdeen.
The cycle parking at this walk-in testing centre is the fence, but there are some decent racks at the nearby swimming pool.
Signs for the Via Francigena and Eroica Montalcino cycle routes leaving San Quirico d'Orcia - there are some awfully corrugated sections ahead.
[UPDATE: See: #176289] [Image taken 29.11.21] Water End junction with Government House Road, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] The railing that had been very visible on the left of the path is no longer there. However, there is ... [more]
Bike art at Cambridge Regional College. The framed photo above it is of Louis Rolfe, a former student, who won gold and bronze at the Paralympic Games in Rio 2016.

176311 This section of Newark Road is heavily used by children cycling to and from school. It would benefit from a cycle lane and less parked cars in the area.- 176310 Lucignano d'Arbia is a lovely little village on the old Via Cassia which is now separated from the Via Francigena by a river - it should be possible to divert here using quiet roads.
- 176288 Very narrow, unable to pass on foot without stepping into road on blind corner. High volume of HGV's.
- 176248 Any prospect of the access routes for the Viking Link being made into public footpaths on completion of the works
- 176247 Beesby village is a low key rat run for some local traffic (including HGV's despite the warning signs at each end). It is mostly a single track road and has no footpaths at all. All this means that there is no safe place to walk or exercise without travelling elsewhere. Historically there was a 'footpath right of way' linking Fen Lane to the next village of Maltby. This is now farmland, but in my view the route could be re-established with minimal cost or disruption. I'm sure the same scenario exists elsewhere in the county too.
- 176231 Improving the cycle path along Wragby Road from Sudbrooke so that it connects with the new cycle path on the new ring road would make sense.
- 176218 Ground gets muddy. Needs mesh or path through grass
- 176217 Nowhere to go safely from here. Safe crossing of Church Street needed
- 176151 This footpath section is littered with abandoned scrap cars that are used for drug dropoffs. It is environmentally hazardous and is encouraging fly tipping. Numerous children use this footpath as their means to getting to school and it is not fit for purpose.
Clear the junk cars that have been abandoned by the family who live there BUT Do Not Own the Land, yet claim they do. Check with the Parish council!!!!!
- 176150 This is a crazy busy road, LGV's mixing it up with schoolchildren, mums with pushchairs, cyclists and angry SUV drivers. Wholesale changes need to be made to prevent carmageddon. The whole town centre from this point on jams up every day. Make it more pleasant for pedestrians and cyclists and less attractive for car drivers, restrictions on LGV's, smaller delivery vehicles can be used. This is a residential area, please help make it more pleasant. Can't believe you listened to the few complaints on the proposed cycle lanes earlier in the year, that was very disappointing. People need to be nudged to change behaviour. Your role as the local Highways Authority is to lead.
- 176149 The pavement on Manilla Street has been badly damaged. This damage is adjacent to the large building site at the eastern end of the road. The pavement by the dropped kerb at the entrance to the building site is now so smashed that a wheelchair user would not be able to use this section. In addition, today (25.11.21) the pavement was completely blocked by the builders, but no ramp was provided for wheelchair or buggy users to get down on to the road to cross to the opposite pavement. A safe and accessible pavement is crucial on this street as it is used as a rat-run by drivers avoiding the roundabout on Marsh Wall and cars and vans regularly drive past at high speed. The pavement on each side is not very wide and an accident could occur if a pedestrian is forced into the street when a speeding van is coming through. More considerate building practices are needed by this company, wider pavement with adequate dropped kerbs needs to be maintained and speed checks need to be undertaken in this area, please.
- 176148 Dangerous road for cyclists, as cars speed along this road and pass very close.
A dedicated cycle lane is required to safely link Spalding and Pinchbeck.
This would allow adults to bike to and from Pinchbeck and school kids to safely cycle to schools reducing the need for parents to drive and inturn reduce emissions and congestion.
This could easily be accomplished by making the Spalding to Pinchbeck road one way, and then Wardentree Lane links back to Spalding (or bypass for heavy goods).
The other half of the Spalding to Pinchbeck road can then be converted to a dedicated cycle lane.
