Greater Cambridge Walking and Cycling Index

I’ve lived in Cambridge almost my whole life, and cycled through Chesterton a thousand times - the bike lane was much needed.

I used to bike with a child trailer (now with a back bike seat) and my route is fairly easy to and from school. I bike down Chesterton Road, around the roundabout, down Chesterton High Street leading to Green End Road.

These roads are very busy in the morning and around the end of the school day which can make it difficult, especially having to navigate around waiting parents outside of the schools and kids coming in and out.

I feel like there should be more speed bumps down Green End Road, because speeding cars are still a problem.

We enjoy biking in the summer, but I am planning to drive more to school as it’s much easier especially in the winter with ice and potholes.
