Cottenham Cyclist

Commuter to Cambridge by bicycle, motorcycle, car (in that order). Love outdoor adventure, offroad cycling (MTB), going to the mountains. OpenStreetMapper.

@WYP_PCWILLIS A decicated lane, active warnings to drivers. I'd take this motorway hard shoulder any day over sharing a single lane 60mph route with blind bends if it were legal. There is a lack of safe direct routes for cyclists in the UK.

@BBCPolitics Hmm, we have seen this double act before...

@CambsCops Whatever happened to #closepass in Cambridge? An actual collision that looks deliberate but 'not pursuing it' ? https://t.co/XI1eiIcPKn
Absolute luck the rider didn't fall off.

@johnstevenson_x Nice to meet you out on the Busway. Very cool of you to be running a cycling MeetUp for slower/newish cyclists.

Watch this @CambsCops and be ashamed of yourselves.

@CambsCops It would be great to see some regular commitment in Cambridge...

@CambsCops Single file makes no difference.
The cyclist should be central in the carriageway on narrow roads. Riding as a peloton is a more efficient and safer use of the road.

The Moat area is looking fabulous right now.

With so few trees around here it's very popular with kids and dogs for exploring and play. Thanks @ our parish council.

Bit niche, but today is the 2nd birthday of Cambridge's first 'parallel priority crossing' installed in Huntingdon Rd, nr Windsor Rd. 🚴🚶🏾 🚐

@kateheydonorg @MartinPorter6 The closed cyclepath at the B1049/A14 roundabout has reminded me how a minority of drivers like to threaten people on bikes. Can't wait for the cyclepath to be back in action.

[Cottenham Cyclist @cotnm]

@kateheydonorg @camcycle @robinheydon @CottenhamFunRun Is this a new problem since this morning?

[Cottenham Cyclist @cotnm]

The Guided Busway maintenance track/bridleway isn't holding many back. Looked about 12 maybe 18 inches deep here.

@oldschoolswaff @MartinSLewis It's not called Road Tax, it's Vehicle Excise Duty, also referred to as Car or Vehicle Tax. Not all motor vehicles pay VED. This 2013 article explains more https://t.co/9BNQFvlYKM
