A decent amount of cycle parking here, and with a colourful theme. This was taken on a Saturday afternoon so only one bike there.
The redway system normally has two nicely placed poles painted a bright yellow, e.g. #72502. Those standards have not been kept up at this development. Even the (correctly spelled) graffiti suggests a negative connotation: Public pole danci ... [more]
Cycleway skirts the edge of the coach park with no physical separation from the large turning reversing vehicles.

Milton Keynes Redway system. Curious green on yellow and then yellow on green signage. Some with distances, some without - what a mess!
Milton Keynes Redway system. An underused resource? I saw hardly anyone out on their bikes on this system, mostly a few dog walkers. It was a cold day, but by contrast the road network was jammed with shoppers.
Electric vehicle charging point. It didn't occur to me to see if it would charge electric bikes too! The sign explains that a prohibition on parking has been introduced for non electric vehicles in three spaces.
The dense bush on the left hides cyclists from traffic approaching this junction in Milton Keynes, see #64450.
There is a warning sign here because riders on the cycleway on the right where (between the white street name sign and the yellow post) are hidden by the dense bush which comes all the way to the road edge. See #64451. Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes has some great stretches of cycleway - here used by one jogger, but a cyclist did just pass.
Complicated road side signage that seems to suggest motor vehicle storage requires a permit between two one hour periods at each end of the working day. Perhaps this is because this residential estate is within convenient walking distanc ... [more]
Central Milton Keynes info board The key does not indicate where the routes are for walking. I think they are the white lines! When I visited this non government site on 15 Feb 2015: mkweb.co.uk/cycling it gave a list of Cyclo ... [more]
Milton Keynes pernicious signage that suggests that this cycleway is only for the walker, that is backed up by the way the corduroy paving is laid. Also unusual here is the sign that is folded in the closed position.
Milton Keynes There's a panel shown at #64434 which tries to explain what this facility is all about. When I visited this link on 15 Feb 2015: gear-change.co.uk it redirected to another website: http://www.gonnadoo.com/ whose main ... [more]
Milton Keynes Navel gazing mumbo jumbo about a cycling strategy for the business area of MK providing secure cycle parking and showers. It is next to the unit shown at #64436, which explains more.
Central Milton Keynes This was not designed as a footway but the wear here suggests that it is used as such, despite lack of dropped kerbs.
Milton Keynes Magistrates Court Among the signs breaking up this clean architecture are one asking to not leave bikes, one about cctv and one pointing to the disabled access.
Central Milton Keynes the sign screams NO CYCLING ON FOOTWAY but this is a cycleway - and that is why they have not used a NO CYCLING sign. Blue signs are advisory, not compulsory, and I view it as an abuse of that principle that ... [more]
The racks outside the library here look like they were an attempt to provide easy secure locking of bikes - provided you had a one pound coin. None of the racks had any keys in them when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It is not very cle ... [more]
Central Milton Keynes Bollards, presumably introduced to stop this access to residences from being blocked by motor vehicles.
Central Milton Keynes The note attached to the bike reads: "Someone tried to steal your bike and the Police arrested them. Please contact the Polic on 101 phone number and quote 'URN1712' CF 13/02/2015. Thank you (and then a Police Co ... [more]
Central Milton Keynes The wonky sign reads: NO CYCLING ON FOOTWAY Petty pathetic signage. If cycling really were prohibited then a No Cycling sign should have been used. These blue signs contribute to division between walkers and ... [more]
Central Milton Keynes full motor vehicle storage areas, but largely empty cycle parking. Perhaps cyclists have got better things to do on a shopping day?
Central Milton Keynes The car storage payment meters have been placed not quite inline with the existing lamp posts causing significant loss of remaining width of the footway / cycleway.
Central Milton Keynes Double yellow lines are fairly unusual as the whole place is a vast car storage area. They don't stick well to the blockwork.
Central Milton Keynes The car storage payment meters have been placed not quite inline with the existing lamp posts causing significant loss of remaining width of the footway / cycleway.
Central Milton Keynes I think this is the red zone motor vehicle storage area - full on a Saturday afternoon.
Redway blocked by a tight chicane. The alternative here is to have a raised table so that the footway is not angled down and motor vehicles slow down.
Complete lack of cycle facilities at this recently built local shopping centre, even though a cycle path runs past on the opposite side of the road
Millers Way is a 60mph Road and the T junction with McConnell Drive is very wide. Cyclists have to negotiate 3 lanes of traffic and the vision splay is poorly managed
