A Sustrans millennium milepost
Sustrans millennium milepost on NCN1 between Whitburn and Souter
A scabby old A frame barrier. The bit of old kerb at the bottom makes it even harder to navigate

New (2020) A-frame barrier on RCR11 just beside Monkton Lane in Jarrow
The rather odd piece of public art beside RCR11 next to Monkton Lane. Like an ancient skeleton

This is the covid 19 sign telling cyclists they should dismount. On an A road (A183 in Whitburn). Council logo on so my council tax is being wasted on this. I feel an email to a councillor coming on https://t.co/xgMC3dh2Dm
Nice example of filtered permeability
Be careful as the 3m shared path abruptly ends before joining the cycle path
Brand new junction. 4 stages to cross one road. Terrible

Desire lines bypassing barrier
The shared path along the river Don in South Tyneside

Bikes are allowed on the Shields Ferry

New section of NCN14 path, above new Tyne road tunnel
plenty of cycle parking stands next to the Jarrow Crusade statue outside Morrisons in Jarrow.
Footpath across Morrisons car park looking towards NCN14
Not sure if this is an official cycleway.
Link across road from NCN14 to Morrisons. There are some dropped kerbs a short distance away, but an oppertunity has been missed for a decent well marked cycle junction
NCN14 at Jarrow, with the widest zebra crossing I have seen
Looking South along NCN14 where it crosses Salem Street in Jarrow

The underpass under the A19 on the River Don Footpath/cycleway. Keep your head low!
Also avoid this route after very heavy rainfall as it can flood

View along the River Don Footpath/Cycleway adjacent to Jarrow Cemetery (may not want to cycle this on Halloween)!

Only ground sign is a faded "splodge" of green tarmac. The sign has been graffittied out.
Do we not deserve better?
A1300 John Reid road. To cross the dual carriage way cycles have to use the pedestrian crossing, which has this strange barrier arrangement reminiscent of a cattle market!
A1300 John Reid Road. Brocket Whims traffic lights. Bus exit only installed 2yrs ago. Very poor cycling provision though.
