New active travel bridge between Manchester and Salford.

Wythenshawe Park South Manchester. Concert venue for Noel Gallagher High Flying Birds. Free Secure bike parking area very near to the concert area. Crowd control barriers purposed as stands for the bikes. This is similar to what was provide ... [more]

The access has been improved by removal of the barrier

Very narrow access does not need central bollard

Cycle Stands in Chorlton Water Park

Manchester NCN 85 route sign pointing 180 the wrong way

Millennium Milepost Fallowfield Loop This milepost is a Mills type and has no disk. The mileages on this milepost are: 1) Chorlton 3 2) Debdlae 2

Wythenshawe Manchester Path going South is not overgrown. Probably because the surface is good and does not promote weed growth. See #194699

Wythenshawe Manchester Path going North is very overgrown. Probably because the surface is bad and promotes weed growth. See #194700 for how it should look

Piccadilly Station Manchester . Stacked parking - the ground level spaces are more popular. Approx 50 spaces.

The bike Hub in Platt Fields Park Manchester. Plenty of images of well known 'cycling' characters in and around Manchester. see #193915 and #193914 . Also photo 2014 #59944

St John's Church Chorlton . Massive tarmacked car park takes over the majority of space around the church . Yet there's NO space for cycles . Resorting to just leaning against the wall with nothing to secure to. This compares to the St John ... [more]

Cornbrook Manchester Chester Road. This crossing should be a Toucan. Both sides of the road are a cycle lane . One is separate the other shared.

Chorlton cycleway under construction across the Metrolink bridge. Sadly, only one side of the road will have a track. A newer, wider road bridge should replace this old structure.

The Chorlton Cycleway heading north out of the town centre. The bus stop chicanes are too narrow really, for trikes and cargo cycles, but this is still a very welcome upgrade from the total lack of any provision previously.

Vandalised fence in dangerous condition. And very poor surface quality along this "cycle route". This could easily be widened by removing the grass verge to the right and replacing it with an embankment wall to support the gardens of the ... [more]

This is what Manchester City Council calls a cycle lane https://t.co/is4V5afstV

[Image taken 25.8.22] Deansgate. Manchester. Clear sign – if non-standard - at roadworks just south of the Cathedral. The road is closed to motorists but it is open to people on cycles. Excellent practice: the sign and the situation. Othe ... [more]

Flagship cycle lane. Notice cyclist on the road to avoid the river. @MadCycleLaneMCR @ManCityCouncil https://t.co/JWtZWvOnX8

Good [private] cycle parking provision at this building, secured behind a big fence so the public can't get to it. If you're working here, cycle parking isn't a problem. The racks aren't good for unusual cycles or if you're not strong e ... [more]

A terrible cycle lane with conflict baked in at every point.

Short stay cycle parking, Deansgate Square. Using non-standard Sheffield stands.

Cargo bike overhangs carriageway, resulting in buses having to squeeze past. Different space requirements required for non-standard cycles.

Lots of pavement parking particularly at weekends

Bee Network dock

Bee Network dock

A bike share dock, right next to a decent protected cycleway in and out of Manchester - but no dropped kerb. This kerb is gigantic. This should be resolved asap.

Badly overgrown cycle path alongside this busy road.

Overgrown cyclepath alongside the road.

Whalley Range Manchester . UPDATE NOV 2021 It's bee upgraded to a cargobike hire stand as seen here #175992 also on Brantingham Rd. Seemingly random place for cycle parking. I suppose it prevents pavement car parking here . Maybe it'll be u ... [more]

Despite my complaint in 2020 Manchester City Council still have not maintained this underpass.

A cyclist in Manchester who's about to head over the Pennines along the Rochdale Canal; a ride for those who can handle a little grit with their pearl.

The worst bike rack is still outside Didsbury Job Centre. https://t.co/DZBOE74UK3

An utterly pointless series of barriers rendered useless by the desire line to the left. Stop installing this rubbish. If antisocial motorcycle use is an issue, that is for the police to deal with. And if the police don't have the reso ... [more]

They came out and moved the van immediately after this, or because they saw me taking pics... https://t.co/YKvVq8tOsp

Etihad Stadium near velodrome. Path closed here no further progress West bound from here. No warning and sign says exit the path here but there is NO exit here . Need to back track to steps onto Joe Mercer Way or all the way back to Alan Tu ... [more]

Bus stop bypass. A nice feature.

Very poor finish on the cycle gutter (which cannot be used anyway)

Bicycles do not fit in the sole lift provided on the north side of this bridge. This bridge likely infringes the Equality Act 2010.

Staircase gutters too close to railings, so you cannot wheel a bicycle up or down.

New cycleway connecting Thorley Lane to A555 and "cycling bridge"

The new bridge across the M56. Marked as bad practice because despite being a "cycling" bridge, you cannot cycle onto or off it.

Manchester Hulme One of he 2 way crossings at the roundabout . So cyclists can travel clockwise or counter. See also #163715 #163717

Hulme Roundabout improved crossing over all exits . See also #163715 #163718

Hulme A really smooth 2 way path on slip road onto Princess Road connecting Stretford Road with Medlock /street (First Street complex). The pedestrian guard rails are removed as well. The roundabout has been transformed as well See #163717 ... [more]

Blocked off entrance to the tunnel beneath the main road.

The blocked-off ramp down to the tunnel beneath the main road.

The correct way to filter the entrance to a walking/cycling route - with bollards. Not stupid A-frames.

This is a shared footway. A new entrance to a private business park has been built across it. This is really, really bad infrastructure. The islands are too small for long bicycles with trailers, the angles are severe and motorists will ... [more]
