@druck - Rules are for you too.
Cycling and walking around Cambridge is always a challenge because these are the only practical ways to get around town. The town just wasn't designed with the motor car in mind.
Many pedestrians unfamiliar with Cambridge can get caught out by roads that are one-way for cars but two ways for bikes. Pembroke Street/Downing Street is a classic here. This situation isn't helped by cyclists who don't look out for other people and plough on regardless.
As to bikes being chained to anything: I agree that this can be a hazard (Outside Emmanuel College is one place that springs to mind) But I would argue that this is because there are too few places to park bicycles. In the past 12 months the council has added a lot more bike racks around town, but these fill up very quickly.
