Dreadful footway shared use cycling scheme in Earl Shilton. At best the highway authority is trying to do something, but putting cyclists and pedestrians into conflict is not the answer.
Coventry Road footway shared use path. The shared use comes to an unceremonious halt here and you have to cross over the busy road to continue.
Narrow cycleway with significant lip for the footway section. The width shown in the image is 1.33 m but when the phone camera was closer to the surface a width of 1.2 metres was shown.
Dangerously overgrown bush near this cycle crossing of the A5, Hinckley. This has been reported to Leicestershire Highways Ref: FS79728760 https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/report-a-road-problem
Cycleway alongside the A5 protected by Armco style barrier, next to the Lime Kilns pub which is on the Ashby Canal.
"Cyclists rejoin carriageway" to pass the DPD International Gateway. or cross (at an unmarked crossing) to joint the footway cycleway on the other side. I suppose we have to be grateful for the dropped kerbs.

Shared footways around a roundabout. Until we saw this sign it was not clear on which side of the line we should be!
The diagonal wear across this brook side path perhaps indicates that this useful route, which although marked as no cycling, is actually ridden quite a lot?
This path runs quite a long way along this green strip of park adjacent to a brook. Sadly it is marked as no cycling.
A dropped kerb and absence of a no cycling sign here perhaps does suggest that cycling is not prohibited on this bit of path?
Complex arrangements where the hybrid cycling provision meets a roundabout - on the Hinckley bypass. [Note this is not proper hybrid provision as cyclists on the track do not have the same priority as they would if on the road.]
