This is a former rail line, converted to a guided bus lane i.e. closed to traffic except buses, which are kept to their concrete "rail tracks". The cycle lane runs parallel, going through pleasant countryside and picturesque villages. Safe for families and segments alike & an easy way out of Cambridge.

It's also a bridleway so watch out for occasional piles of horse shit.

Absolutely, it's a cyclelane: straight from A to B, and flat/smooth too, good to get to work. You can do some interval training if you get bored but yes, it's not a country lane or a sportive route.
