The University of Manchester's Whitworth Museum won the Museum of the Year award for its extension but still only has minimal cycle parking a long way from the entrance
Pedestrianisation and cycle parking at the University of Manchester - but a through cycle route would be helpful
Manchester Oxford Road New cycle parking some being used by motorcycles. When use increases enforcement will be required to deter motorcycles. see also #80529
Manchester Oxford Road outside Wetherspoons Paramount. Newly installed cycle parking being used already. space for 14 bicycles. see also #80530
@GMcycling why doesn't this bike lane continue straight? I have to look behind me to see if cars are turning. https://t.co/3fiWpaktmF
No cycling on the Bridgewater Canal towpath - it's true, there's very tight access to the ramp on the right.
Who will end up as a bus sandwich? Portland Street cycle lanes are worse than nothing https://t.co/5IO2F2Kpjc https://t.co/gm3PukzOwC Link to their blog post: http://madcyclelanesofmanchester.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/the-cycle-route-into- ... [more]
UPDATE 27/07/16 see #83086 report of removed bike lights at crossing from Asda Princess road https://twitter.com/technicalfault/status/758040342050512896 Hulme Manchester. UPDATE 1 Dec 31 2015 Had a reply from TfGM who stated "We are curren ... [more]
Just five cycle parking stands at Manchester Victoria station, on platform 3, inside the ticket barrier area. Maybe there are more stands elsewhere, but the number of locks on the railings suggests that there should be more provided in the ... [more]
Bikes locked to railings at Victoria Metrolink, but no obvious provision of any cycle parking stands.
A newly installed painted cycle lane on Corporation Street, which has then been made narrower. More details of the cycle infrastructure along this street can be found at http://madcyclelanesofmanchester.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/corporation ... [more]
Cycleway crosses 4-track tramway with just a forest of signs and a 'Give Way' triangle. No flashing amber tram crossing signals like elsewhere in the city centre, despite the complex and potentially confusing arrangement. The central refuge ... [more]
Bizarre routing of cyclists on Long Millgate between tramway crossing and link road to Corporation Street. The second cycle route sign appears to be sending cyclists up a one-way street the wrong way! This could have been designed far bette ... [more]
Looking along Long Millgate from the cycle track crossing the tramway. The right turn ban at the mini-roundabout should exempt cycles since the road that way is buses, taxis and cycles only, unless the ban exists due to the unusually close ... [more]
A mix of pedestrian and cycle route signs, obscuring each other, while the motoring sign stands tall, clear and unobstructed.
The Dantzic Street cycleway studs lead users to the carriageway, but for how long is it two-way? The base of the bollard that has been removed could be a trip hazard for pedestrians.
The Dantzic Street cycleway studs to the south of Miller Street align with the toucan crossing, unlike across the other side (see #72825).
The studs on the Dantzic Street cycleway don't align with the toucan crossing across Miller Street, and the street furniture does not help guide users to the crossing either.
Staggered toucan crossing across Cheetham Hill Road at Trinity Way junction, but nothing obvious on either side that permits cycling on the footway.
Plenty of cycle parking at the Cheetham Primary Care Centre, but no infrastructure on Cheetham Hill Road to encourage its use.
A narrow path between Smedley Lane and Boyle Street, signed as a line-segregated foot/cycle path, and without a dropped kerb at the end.
Bollards closing off old road at Hendham Vale, retaining cycle and walking access through to Kingsbridge Road.
Manchester Charlotte Street outside Sustrans offices cycle parking is full as are the lampposts and signposts. Needs more cycle parking. Google picture confirms cycle parking is full. Good to see a contraflow has recently been installed her ... [more]
Cycle route and roadworks by Manchester Cathedral (the half-timbered building is the Cathedral on the Street - where the satellite images still show an active road)
No Entry except trams and cycles, straight ahead into Exchange Square. The painted cycle lane appears to encourage cyclists to risk left hooks rather than cycling closer to the tramlines. The road-width decreases suddenly just behind the ... [more]
