Very poor double decker racks in Station Square, Milton Keynes. One problem seems to be that the upper racks do not lock into position, with the result that they slide back and drop.
There are lots of underpasses in Milton Keynes and then for some reason this flat crossing of a main road.
In a city with lots of decent segregated cycle routes, they've decided to send users of NCN route 51 up a main road with heavy bus traffic.
Cycle parking in Milton Keynes and an arrow for users of NCN route 51 to turn right - but I think they mean straight ahead.
You couldn't make it up - there are plenty of decent segregated cycleways in Milton Keynes, and Sustrans manages to find a route for NCN route 51 on whch cycling is not even allowed!

Don't bother taking your bike this way because you'll have to carry it over a stepped bridge acros steh railway.
There's an immense plaza in front of Milton Keynes Central station so why on earth they felt they needed to install awkward unpopular double-deck cycle parking I cannot imagine.
Santander Cycles MK A little bit fiddly to rent but very good bikes and we took five out for a good spin. https://santandercyclesmk.co.uk/
The chicanes here are to dissuade cyclists from the steep bank just after, and that is probably a good thing and anyway there is quite a good nearby alternative just a little further.

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.
