Step over horse gate is a pain for people on cycles and does not conform to the latest LTN 1/20 standards. Please replace.
Bridleway should be a very useful route from Edworth Rd to Biggleswade but is too overgrown with grass and hedges to be easy to use. An annual maintenance job would make all the difference.
Bridleway is very overgrown and has lots of low hanging branches. It would be great if this could be made easier to use as a safe route from Edworth Road to the centre of Biggleswade.
Redesign junction to get cars on Vandyke Road to keep to the speed limit. Horribly fast driving by some people.
Cycle channels on bridge poor as too close to the bridge parapet so you have to push the bike leaning over. Of course this also means the route is inaccessible to trikes, families with child trailers and anyone with a disability as the … [more]
Permissive path. Not clear if this is a cycle route. Needs clearer signs. If not a cycle route it should be as easily wide enough.
Path is horribly overgrown and partner on tandem had to duck to avoid branches and she is 5ft1! Shame it spoils a nice route.
Sign post Murrell Lane as the cycle route westbound to avoid a section of Baldock Road which is busy.
Section of bike lane, always full of cars, further down to Lower Sundon the path just disappeared under overgrown bushes etc.
West end of shared-use path alongside the new A421 between Milton Keynes and Junction 13 of the M1. It's a mystery where one is supposed to go at the far end, other than the wrong way along a dual carriageway or through a private logistics … [more]
East end of shared-use path alongside the new A421 between Milton Keynes and Junction 13 of the M1. It's a mystery where one is supposed to go from here, other than the wrong way along a dual carriageway or through a private logistics … [more]
The cycle path along here is pretty useless if you're leaving Luton going towards Harpenden as you have to cross the road several times to make use of it. Also the pathway is never well maintained and always full of glass. I have had two … [more]
Cycle path is shared use through grounds of church. Path is too narrow for this use. Conflict with pedestrians etc
Segregated cycle way needed here, not just a painted line on a dual carriageway where drivers speed regularly. To provide access to capability green estate.
Provide a cycle way bridge to cross the railway closer to town which allows cycle routes to be connected and safer cycling for school access
Newly built road with no cycle path. The road is uphill and cars travelling at motorway speeds, very dangerous. A separate cycle path is absolutely needed along this stretch (and as the road has only recently been built this is the ideal … [more]
The Leighton Rd is very wide & traffic moves at motorway speeds. There is easily space for a segregated cycle way along this road. At the moment travelling between towns along this road is incredibly dangerous. This road prevents me from … [more]
After leaving cycleway across bridge towards Stanbridge, the road becomes narrow with little space for cycles, a cycle path would improve the safety in this area.

The route to Flitwick station from Westoning and surrounding villages is flat and an ideal distance for cycling. However Flitwick Road is very busy with many lorries from the M1 and is unsafe to cycle on. Any cyclist using the road creates … [more]
Toddington High Street is not safe to cycle down. Cars park either side which leaves no safe room for children to cycle on the road and the path is not suitable to cycle on.
Children from Fairfield park cannot get to middle/secondary school without using this path. It is not wide enough and is dangerous. Please widen the path or install a cycle way.

The pavement here is extremely narrow and there are many cars parked on the road. It is incredibly hard for my son to bike safely on the road (because of where cars park and difficulty seeing cars often mount the pavement to pass other … [more]
Current cycle path is used by cars parking illegally. This forces cyclists to go around them and into oncoming traffic who aren’t expecting cyclists coming towards them because they think it’s a one-way street.
This is a steep hill that is difficult to cycle up, so having a dedicated cycle path would separate bikes from traffic
This section of shared use path is overgrown and needs clearing to give more space for both pedestrians and cyclists using this route to get to Arlesey Station.
To allow for cycling out of the village (and walking ) for enjoyment of the local countryside without the need for a motor vehicle. This is also on a local cycle route and would therefore be of wider benefit to the Central Bedfordshire, … [more]

The addition of a marked cycle way would assist in encouraging cycling to school and also facilitate cycling in the village. If more cycling and footpath space results in reduced vehicular road space, it may assist in reducing the speeding … [more]
Alternative route into Flitwick avoiding busy narrow roads from Flitton, Greenfield, Silsoe, Maulden
Needs some kind of provision to help pedestrians and cyclists to get to town and station. Too much traffic from too many directions.
The problem is the current route NCN6 takes through busy streets. A pedestrian/cycle crossing for a rerouted NCN6 (Sustrans proposal 2 years ago) and a cycle path to North Station Way to link up with NCN6 to the Sewel Greenway.
Cycling on road with high speed traffic. Cycle path needed to keep lorries and cars separate from bikes.
Cycling from Southill Road into Biggleswade town is dangerous because the road is narrow and cars travel very fast on this stretch. there are also blind bends on this stretch.
The busway is a brillant cycleway but when you get to Dunstable it becomes dangerous and difficult to get to the centre of town. The signage is confusing and the one way streets take you a long way out of the way
Shortmead Street is part of the Biggleswade Greenwheel for cyclists, yet is a busy road with no cycle lane.
Very difficult busy junction to navigate by bike. Redesign junction and include protected turns for bikes
Shortmead Street is part of the Biggleswade Greenwheel for cyclists, yet is a busy road with no cycle lane.
This is part of a National Cycle Route 12, bit is “on road” would be better with a designated cycle way.
Derwent Road is a very wide road and although it has a 20mph very few drivers stick to this limit which makes it dangerous for cyclists. A cycleway needs to be installed or shared space created to enable cyclists to feel safe
This is a long straight road from Maulden to Flitwick which people cycle, run and walk along. It has no pavement. A man was killed Christmas 2016 walking there. It needs a pavement and cycle way. It would encourage commuters going to … [more]
Leighton Buzzard ambiguous - this looks very like a footway but there's a bit of cycleway off to the right behind that brown sign.
NCN6 as seen from the busway cycle path heading north west. There are no signs at this location so easy to miss.
Junction NCN6 and busway cycle route and bridge. Sadly no signs at this location so easily missed when looking for NCN6.
The dreaded barriers on the Morrisons Cycle Path. On Morrisons land and they insist they stay put for cyclists' safety - try getting a trailer round them or even a bike for that matter! Photo of someone trying to do exactly that: #58634.
Rough stone surface on the approach to Station Road in Blunham. Not suitable for cycle paths which should be smooth and sealed.
