This junction has a cycle only set of lights heading NE hat is constantly being used by pedestrians. This despite there already being adequate pedestrian crossing and phasing.
Traffic islands make lanes too narrow causing cars to cut cyclists up, really unpleasant to cycle along
barriers prevent access by tricycles and kiddy trailers - as used by the kind of people that really appreciate quiet off road routes. Motorcycles can still squeeze through anyway so they don't work!
barriers forming chicane prevent access by tricycles and kiddy trailers - as used by the kind of people that really appreciate quiet off road routes

There is an abandoned tramway that runs from New Malden sation to Raynes Park Recreation Ground. This could be turned nto a cycle/walking route that would dramatically shorted the route between these 2 places and not involve crossing the A3 … [more]
Back entrance to Tesco redesigned without provision for cyclists. They now still have to go along footpaths or the wrong way up a short road. There is space and little more than paintwork would have had to be changed to provide a really … [more]
Queens Road Wimbledon is a very busy road to for cyclists to negotiate. Too many people cycle on the pavements - dont please!
Cycle crossing between High Path and The Path across A236 Morden Road let down by poor signing on main road, resulting in vehicles frequently blocking the crossing. Need a box junction to keep it clear.
Simple exit from Raleigh Gardens main road onto Raleigh Gardens cul-de-sac would make it easier to access cycle-route along Love Lane
Cycle-unfriendly roundabout with poor quality token white paint job cycle lane on Upper Green East southbound carriageway - and that's it.
This junction has no cycle friendly traffic lights, just asl's which are routinely ignored by drivers.
Colliers Wood Tube Station, from the Sainsburys to the Tube station, at commuter time, it is permanently clogged with Cars at a standstill , the road is so thin you can't squeeeze past without extreme bravery ... then a quick switch onto … [more]
Colliers Wood - At the start of the cycle lane, going towards Tooting, cars frquently ignore the blue lane as the lanes merge making mockery of it. As aresult bikers are having to squeeze alongside cars or use the pavement. Also it would be … [more]
Ity would be very easy to make this roundabout nicer for cyclists as there are footpaths all around it but only random sections appear to allow cyclists, it really doesn't make sense as far as I can tell. The lights also dump you on the … [more]

No cycling provision here despite the roads being wide and empty - two lanes for vehicles going towards Mitcham, yet no cycle path?
No cycling infrastructre in place along this cycle route despite the space available (give over to parked cars as per usual)
No cycling infrastructre in place along this cycle route despite a 20mph limit drivers regulary do up to 70mph rat running. No enforcement by police, whatsoever.
Numerous parked cars on the road blocking a whole lane on this marked cycle route - plenty if not all houses have driveways but go unused it seems.

No way of getting from coombe lane to the segregated path heading along the A3 (Wimbledon common side) towards London without risking being run over
Two rows of parked cars but no cycling provision on this quiet residential road 20mph limit but drivers often seen doing up to 50mph, no enforcement whatsoever.
When travelling north on Carshalton Road approaching the roundabout at the northern end, cyclists wishing to travel north-east along Cedars Avenue (as I do) are required to mix with traffic, including many courier's lorries and vans … [more]
This is a 'cycle superhighway' with blue markings as a cycle lane on the road, but cars often drive into this, and I was almost hit by a car going the same way who moved into the cycle lane without looking to overtake a car turning right. A … [more]
Parked vehicles both sides of the road make cycling here dangerous, traffic calming bumps also add to the danger. Also impossible to cycle down during morning and evening due to queuing motor vehicles.
Parked vehicles both sides of the road make cycling here dangerous, traffic calming bumps also add to the danger.
Poor quality cycle lane which drivers think you have to give way to turning vehicles, no on road cycle lane but two lanes for motor vehicles are found.
Speed bumps to slow motor vehicles who can't control their speed force cyclists into dangerous positions on this recognised cycle route - more could be done here by the wimbledon common conservators.
Illegally parked cars on both sides of the road, make cycling along here very unpleasant - it is a route that links up with wimbledon common. The pavement is also often illegally blocked on both sides by you guessed it, illegally parked … [more]
Parked cars, no facilities available to allow cyclists to pass both ways (one way to motor vehicles), despite the space available.
Poor road design to deal with motor vehicles making cycling along this road in either direction nigh on impossible
Cycling from west to east from the traffic lights by the Prince of Wales is extremely dangerous. There is a advance box for cyclists at the traffic lights but even with the benefit that offers, the cyclists run the gauntlet of buses at the … [more]
abolish the 1-way racetrack around crown house and convert one side of the triangle to buses, walking and cycling only
the one-way race-track system should be abolished, make Hartfield Road 2-way working, and convert the Broadway between Hartfield and Gladstone Roads to buses, walking and cycling only
Cycle commuting in this area would be improved if it was possible to safely cross the A3. Currently you have to make a major and lengthy detour to go east, and there is no safe alternative if you are heading west
This quiet parallel road to coombe lane is full of parked cars either side, makes cycling this road difficult when it'd need not be.
No cycling provision for cyclists who don't want to "mix it" with motor vehicles despite the space available.
No on-road cycle provision along the broadway towards south wimbledon despite the space available in places
The cycle lane along this fast road is illegal and encourages dangerous/fast/close overtakes, drivers regulary speed along here and brake for the camera at the end (near the petrol station on I believe). No pedestrian pavement either.
Again in Mitcham, cyclists are just left to get on with it travelling around the one way system - same for the cricket green/fire engine one way system too. Both should be removed and replaced with cycle/pedestrian friendly low speed two … [more]
No cycling provision here despite the roads being wide and empty - two lanes for vehicles going towards Mitcham, yet no cycle path?
This road has no design in place for cycling yet space has been found for parked vehicles, dangerous chicanes which cause conflict between cyclists and motorists.
This road has no cycling provisions other than a bicycle symbol yet space is found for parked cars and a wide pavement, the whole road design is dangerous for cycling on and encourages aggressive behaviour from impaitent drivers.
No cycling provisions and dangerous chicanes to deal with the problem of motor vehicles using this (once) quiet country lane as a rat run.
There is a broken white line cycle lane in at least one direction (towards wimbledon) I am unsure of the other direction. It is not a legal size and encourages drivers not to alter their position in overtaking cyclists - there should be a … [more]
