Random Idea Cambridge is not a city for car drivers. The ring road is OK but the centre of town is geared towards pedestrians and bicyclists. Both tourists and students are renown for this form of transport.
Bicycle lanes abound and take away valuable road surface from cars.
In this project bikes were provided by the city council and left unlocked - free for anyone's use. The only condition was that the bikes would be left for use by the next person when you finished with them. Needless to say, all the bikes were stolen within a few days. These almost all have boat or some river term in their name. Ask friendly locals for their opinion on the quality of your preferred beverage in a pub before going in.
