One of many cows in the area; a herd of these on the bike path was the only significant traffic I encountered.
This is the Orchard, a tea house in Grantchester. Grantchester is a village near Cambridge best known for the poet Rupert Brooke, who wrote a helpful guide to the local people.
Grantchester traffic laws
Enforcement similar to SF
The walk from Cambridge to Grantchester, along the river. Beware of cows.
Device used to prevent unauthorized cars from driving into the Cambridge city center. Taxis, buses, etc can get through.
Punting
Jesus Lane
Bike-friendly traffic lights
Bike lanes on all busy streets (and strange eating habits)
Traffic calming: a 1-lane bottleneck in a 2-way residential street
Trinity College
The river behind Trinity
Don't walk on the grass
King's College
Round church (contained an interesting propaganda display blaming progressives for all the 20th Century's problems)
Parking costs almost $4/hr, and there is one pay station like this for several on-street spaces. Drivers buy a ticket to put in their window, rather than putting coins in a meter.

Most busy streets have a bike lane on the sidewalk on one side. It is often divided with a line to separate pedestrians on one half of the sidewalk from bikes on the other. The sidewalk on the other side of the street is narrow and doesn't have a bike lane, so bikes can go in both directions on this side. Many streets like this also have bike lanes in the street.
A lot of the bike and pedestrian paths also have signs on them.
This was my morning commute: this section had a community garden on one side and some sort of canal (apparently formerly part of the City's water supply, connected to the river) on the other.
There must be a pony in here somewhere...
The pony (no, you can't have one)
Building parking garages for commuters at the hospital
The CPE building, part of the MRC where Alexey's lab is. This map should show where the lab (part of Addenbrooke's Hospital) is relative to Cambridge.

View North (towards Cambridge) from the MRC staff lunchroom. The tower on the left side is a church on the edge of town, and we're a little over a mile away.
