The condition states:
“The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until details of facilities for the covered, secured parking of bicycles for use in connection with the development hereby permitted shall be submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The approved facilities shall be provided in accordance with the approved details before use of the development commences.”
The cover letter only shows a picture of the type of stands that will be used and refers to a drawing number. There is no mention of the number of stands or the type of cover or secure shelter that will be used. No other useful documents are loaded to the portal.
Also, we need to indicate that the term ‘bike storage’ is incorrect and should not be used by planning officers when setting conditions.

We have reached the final phase of the project to open up restricted streets to two-way for cyclists in Cambridge - and residents can have their say.
Many restricted streets have already been opened up to two-way cycling over the last 10 years following a Department for Transport trial. Allowing cyclists to be exempt from no-entry restrictions, and to travel both ways on one-way streets, is a cost effective and easy way of expanding the city cycle network.
After consultation with residents and stakeholders last year followed by a meeting at the Cambridge Joint Area Committee in January, we are proposing to make 15 one-way or restricted entry streets two-way for cycling. Local residents will be notified of these Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) regarding proposed two-way cycling in restricted streets in Cambridge.
Please email policyandregulation AT cambridgeshire.gov.uk by 1 September 2017 with your comments.

I am very concerned that there is no cycling permitted along any of the many paths crossing Christ's Pieces. I fully understand that the main path leading from Christ's Walk over to the Grafton should be cycle-free as there is almost always a high volume of pedestrian use on this path. However, the other paths are almost always virtually, if not completely empty of pedestrians and could easily allow cyclists. Living near Mitchams Corner, I frequently cycle into town and if I want to go to the Grand Arcade or St. Andrews Street, I am not allowed to cycle across Christ's Pieces and park my bike in Christ's Walk. Instead, I am supposed to run the gauntlet of buses and taxis (see panoramic picture), in Emmanuel Street or, equally dangerous, Hobson Street via King Street. Hobson Street is so narrow that if a bus or taxi is coming down it, a cyclist is forced to leap off and drag the bike onto the pavement. Lorries are also often parked for deliveries too! I have raised this issue with Jocelynne Scutt who has said she would look into it. I consider it urgent!

17/1391/S73 | Section 73 application to vary conditions 18 and 24 of permission 14/1111/FUL (Demolition of existing garages, to be replaced by a two storey building to provide 19 additional hotel bedrooms (4 within roof space) an underground car park for 16 cars and 12 bicycles and an extension to the existing semi-basement hotel facilities), to replace ramp to basement car park with vehicle lift, revisions to Ferry Path and Hamilton Road elevations and change from ground source heat pump to air source heat pump. | 74 - 76 Chesterton Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB4 1ER
The changes proposed for this site will change the earlier proposals for cycle parking.
Concern is that cycle parking is only provided for staff and that it is down stairs. (earlier proposals may have allowed for cycling down the car ramp, now that it is a car lift this may not be possible). Insufficient information about ramps to help with cycle access or the layout of the cycle parking.

This is a minor application and the original application is from 2014 but it appears to set a very bad and confused approach to cycle parking (or as they call it 'storage') for what I think are four x 4-bed HMOs so we may want to make comment.
They have a number of bikes randomly leaning on the wall in garages which are also meant to be storing cars. This is a poor standard and I also don't think there is enough room for the number of bikes that should be expected.

At the moment it is possible to cycle from Cambridge Road, near Madingley, to Girton, on a bridleway that crosses over the A428 and then passes under the M11 at the Girton Interchange. You can then cross three roads (A1307) and reach a pavement on the North-East side of the Interchange. Using the pavement you can then reach Washpit Lane and cycle up towards Girton. (The pavement is marked as a shared-use route on the OSM Cycle map, although I am not sure that it really is.)
Apart from having to be careful when crossing the A1307 junction it is a rather pleasant route to ride.
The Girton Interchange is being "improved" to reduce the bottleneck for cars. Does anyone know what plans there are to ensure that the current route through remains open and whether there are plans to improve the bridleway route through? Or will this be another example of roads being developed to the detriment of footpaths/bridleways.

Because of queuing for the Grand Arcade car park, amongst other things, the mandatory cycle lane on Pembroke Street and Downing Street is routinely abused by motor vehicles – one every 66 seconds on a Saturday afternoon http://www.cyclestreets.net/galleries/221/.
The corner at Free School Lane is a particular concern because vehicles traveling east can't see oncoming cycles.

Has there been any improvement in the "new" NCN 11 route from Waterbeach to Lode since last summer? Last time I went that way I had to wheel the bike across fields and carry it over two or three stiles.
Any information, including a forecast date when a proper route is likely to be built, welcome. Thanks.

There's a very poor dogleg right-angle with barriers at the entrance/exit from the West Cambridge site to Clerk Maxwell Road.

The bollards at the bottom of Herbert St haven't been replaced after the electricity cable was laid last week.
Rather than directly replacing the bollard slalom that existed beforehand, the bollard specialists might have suggestions on what the layout should be here which camcycle can suggest as for the replacement...

Project Orange is an attempt develop our general strategy during the year 2013.
It involves
1) Should Cambridge Go Dutch (or Copenhagenize)
2) A more assertive stance in our interactions with agencies: Demanding of them to make feasible what seems infeasible
3) focus on a regional area 10 miles (15 km) around Cambridge and a dartboard network structure to connect villages,
4) the development of a Bicycle Infrastructure Assessment Tool (BIAC) which will allow us to grade and praise provision
5) Priority over sideroads as part of a Dutch-style approach
5) Development of Visualisation Tools for major projects (Chisholm Trail, Newnham to Newmarket Rd, Mitcham's Corner)

London Cycling Campaign has reorientated its policy towards a 'Go Dutch' approach.
This aims to learn from best practice abroad rather than continuing with the 'hierarchy of provision' that, in 20 years in the UK, has arguably failed to deliver meaningful change.
This is an overarching issue for conceptual discussion of this issue.

Travis Perkins Development has major impact on Chisholm Trail.
We have a letter from the developer outlining their position - let's see if I can attach this...
There is a lengthy discussion of the Chisholm Trail, the gist of which is that they don't see why they should make any further accommodation for it when it is mainly Network Rail's land that is earmarked for the route. They dangle a small carrot in that they might release the corner piece of land to mitigate the pinch point you identified - but only if this application is given the go-ahead.

Rather than providing adequate cycle parking for their pupils this Sixth Form college is discouraging cycling and increasing the likelihood of cycle theft. The bikes that were previously attached to these railings are now left on the opposite side of the road where they are not so securely parked. See http://cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/27865/ #27865 or #27866
Although some cycle parking does seem to have been provided: http://cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/28093/ #28093, #28092 it is clearly not enough

The installation of one stand in the boundary of M&S facing Market Hill Square.
What general measures (publicity, fairs, web activity, leaflets, brochures, campaign manifestos) can we undertake to promote cycling in Cambridge in the most general sense?
This issue is a discussion area for proposals and discussion on creating general-purpose material and the approach that can be taken to promote cycling, and the difficult question of how this is balanced against difficulties that cyclists face in practice.
This issue is not for discussion of specific problematic infrastructure or helmet issues, or anything like that.
Various issues in Cambridge regarding bus driving and cyclist interactions. Work needs to be done to deal with this.
(This is actually a city-wide issue, but I've marked this as the bus station for now.)

Access to and return journey from the Crematorium is a real challenge for the cyclist. Indeed, chances are you may end up in it if you try to ride your bike there.
Here we have a essential public service which is accessible by car only. Is this acceptable ?
These issues arise also if a convoy of bicycles was to accompany a coffin.
What is to be done?

Aims of a bike harvest:
- Reduce bike ‘litter’
- Improve the number of available bike parking spaces
- Recycle bikes and provide affordable bikes (with lights) for new students
- Employ disadvantaged people
This junction has often been suggested a prime site where a continental-style 'all green phase' signalling scheme could be tried.

I propose the creation of bike/bus scheme: a bus service for Sundays and Bank holidays leaving Cambridge Rail Station, heading out through Barton Road and linking Burwash Manor, Wimpole Hall, Gamlingay Woods, Great Gransden Woods etc in a circular route. Short cycle routes to be developed around villages along the route. Cyclists can choose the length of journey they want to make and be assured of a ride home by bus if they do not wish to cycle back to Cambridge...
A 24 cycle bike-trailer can be towed behind a 20 seater bus, providing sustainable tourism access to South Cambridgeshire and passenger transport services for settlements that do not currently have Sunday services. Please respond and state whether you would be interested in such a service.
