Currently a pedestrian crossing, should be made as a toucan crossing

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 provided near Old Trafford Football Stadium for the Olympic Football 2012 .

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.

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's Church in Old Trafford where there is plenty of bike stands and no on site car park ! See #44358 . The church benefits from a Public Hire bike station named St John's . The irony.

Just need some bikes parked there twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1662841578430316544 ****** Great Ducie Street Manchester near HMP Manchester suggested locations for Beryl public hire bikes . UPDATE REPLY FROM TfGM "Thank you for contacting Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and for taking the time to share your feedback with us regarding the existing Cycle Hire Scheme.
I would also like to thank you for taking the time to suggest a number of new locations for hire stations. We are currently in the process of selecting locations with Manchester City Council and private landowners for cycle hire stations across the operating zone.
We hope to locate around 300 stations every 300 or 400 metres across the zone which includes Great Ducie St and have added your recommendation to our list.
Please do continue to check on tfgm.com/cyclehire for further updates around this and more detail on the scheme."
If you have a suggestion email to bncyclehire@tfgm.com
For visitors and staff and nearby legitimate businesses. Also improve the area for #opvulcan twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1637404802236788737 berylmanchester . GMP have #opvulcan in the area so there may be funding opportunities here. www.gmp.police.uk/police-forces/greater-manchester-police/areas/greater-manchester-force-content/c/campaigns/2022/operation-vulcan2/operation-vulcan/

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 houses above.

This is what Manchester City Council calls a cycle lane 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. Other image today: #185849.

Flagship cycle lane. Notice cyclist on the road to avoid the river. @MadCycleLaneMCR @ManCityCouncil 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 enough to lift them up, but there are Sheffield stands around the corner.

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

High-speed traffic mixed with high numbers of cyclists. The carriageway is wide enough to have segregated cycleways.

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 used in the new bike hire scheme to be launched this Autumn. news.tfgm.com/resources/kocku-gnyh8-qycki-q74es-3v5hp @berylbikes

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

The angle Minshull Street divides off the A6 causes fast turning traffic, dangerous for the many pedestrians crossing the city centre road, and conflict over the bus lane on the left, dangerous for cyclists and making it less useful for buses. A one-way closure arrangement with a contraflow cycle gate would be effective. Auburn Street is available just before the signals at the end of the road as an alternative access towards the Canal Street area for motor vehicles.

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. 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 resources, it's a political issue.

They came out and moved the van immediately after this, or because they saw me taking pics... 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 Turing Way to avoid steps.

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.

There isn't even a pavement on this side of the road - this really needs looked at. No space for walking at all!

On-street parking should be removed to either widen the pavement or provide a cycle way. Significant problem here with close passing of cars

Cyclist turning right on Victoria Avenue. Also cycleway all along Vic Ave

For cyclists turning right into town and cycleway over bridge from Cheetham Hill road

For cyclists crossing into Northern Gateway (Smedley road) from Woodlands road

Bury Old road needs cycleway south into Manchester and north to M60 past Heaton Park and over to Prestwich.

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 #163718 . Just need Stretford Road in Hulme to have protected cycleway both ways up to the Trafford border connecting to Stretford Cycleway (protected)
