| 34603 |  | 'How to restrict access to a cycle path' by RX51PXF. It was here for several hours, and there was plenty of space nearby if they wanted to be more considerate. Maybe the driver believed they had a 'right' to obstruct the pavement and dropped kerbs because they had 'paid road tax'. | Obstruction: Event obstructions |
| 112434 |  | 'No Cycling', 'Slow' and 'Beware of Pedestrians' at a blind corner on the Ashton Canal path. Not really built for cycling. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 112437 |  | 'No Cycling', 'Slow' and 'Beware of Pedestrians' at a cluttered corner on the Ashton Canal. Not built for cycling, so important that the road network is adapted instead. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 72883 |  | 'No Through Road except cycles' on Long Millgate leading to cycle track crossing the tramway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 89971 |  | "No Cycles" sign on a bollard on a facility obviously designed as a modal filter to permit cycles! | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 74635 |  | @GMcycling why doesn't this bike lane continue straight? I have to look behind me to see if cars are turning. t.co/3fiWpaktmF | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 72418 |  | @OfficialTfGM @ManCityCouncil How do you legally continue to ride towards Deansgate from here? t.co/sLmLMkxyhN | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 103581 |  | @oisinshare @firststreetmcr t.co/hus6z4ZZft Ed: We're told it will be moved soon: twitter.com/firststreetmcr/status/1064815558196191233 | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 52218 |  | #AskGMP disrespect of mandatory cycle lanes by police. | Enforcement: Problem enforcement |
| 142305 |  | #carsoncycleroutes these people have a nice driveway. Would have been nice to use it instead of the cyclelane :) t.co/bFwz9ygb7g | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 72087 |  | #space4parking on the footway by MMU's new Birley Fields development. Note the man in the white van carrying a fire extinguisher was genuinely loading but had to stop in the carriageway as all the loading bays were parked in. Also note the lack of safe #space4cycling - hopefully this will be fixed during CCAG2 as the rest of this road is one of its key routes. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 140019 |  | 20 mph zone to include adjacent roads and enforcement measures | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 83086 |  | 27/07/16 report of removed bike lights at crossing from Asda Princess road twitter.com/technicalfault/status/758040342050512896 see also #73032 | Congestion: Problem congestion |
| 45332 |  | 3 inverted U bars beside a ticket office. There are two more bars a few meters apart. They are inside the precinct, so it's pretty nice, but at least these three are placed too near to the wall :S | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 109307 |  | A "mountain of stinking waste" at least 10ft (3m) high has blocked a major cycling route in Greater Manchester. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-49047042 twitter.com/_Jimc/status/1152127305436844033 www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/enormous-pile-rubbish-making-cyclists-16614917 Other items: fallowfieldloop.org/ road.cc/content/news/252628-police-urge-manchester-cyclists-continue-using-fallowfield-loop-after-making www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/fallowfield-loop-attack-tree-branch-16203069 | Obstruction: Event obstructions |
| 72713 |  | A bike on a trailer towed by a bike, beside the Manchester Metrolink tram lines | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 176017 |  | 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. | Bike share: Problem bikeshare |
| 72645 |  | A chicane barrier each side of the gate in Queen's Park, but with the cycle route heading for the Hendham Vale path to the right, why exit the park here at all? See also #72646. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 72641 |  | A city-bound cycle lane on Rochdale Road. Although not continuous, it has its uses for passing queuing traffic. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 120560 |  | A clear route for cyclists going towards the city centre is needed here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 72637 |  | A cycle parking store at Oxford Road station in Manchester. The two-way cycle lane along the front is not so good, but can easily be ignored. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 112426 |  | A cycle track leading to Piccadilly station, but not for left turns into Ducie Street. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 15943 |  | A cycling family braves the 6 lane A34 in Manchester. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 173698 |  | 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. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 72644 |  | A gate at the entrance to Queen's Park, with gaps at either side for cycling and walking. However, the red sign says "No Unauthorised Vehicles" without saying if cycles are allowed. The rising bollards behind the gate appear to be a bit of an expensive gimmick. One of the cycle route signs in the background seems to be pointing the wrong way, although the path it points along reaches the same point in any case. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 62030 |  | A good shared space at Mcr University has now been turned into this - including cycling on the right! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 105368 |  | A good way to make a point about how much space parked cars take from the highway. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 81031 |  | A huge plaza at the University of Manchester and isolated patches of cycle parking | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 81032 |  | A huge plaza at the University of Manchester and isolated patches of cycle parking | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 112421 |  | A jug-handle cycle lane to approach the tram tracks crossing in Aytoun Street at a better angle. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 112537 |  | A lack of maintenance has left this ramp in a disgusting and possibly dangerous condition. Reported. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 72640 |  | A limited amount of cycle parking outside the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 72829 |  | A mix of pedestrian and cycle route signs, obscuring each other, while the motoring sign stands tall, clear and unobstructed. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 72810 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 72887 |  | 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 madcyclelanesofmanchester.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/corporation-street-part-2-heading-south.html | Roadworks: Problem roadworks |
| 112411 |  | A painted cycle lane in Portland Street. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 81033 |  | A perfect place to park at the University of Manchester | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 81034 |  | A perfect place to park at the University of Manchester (the sign is a bit odd - presumably the footway is still the footway and the cycleway is on the carriageway) | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 100289 |  | A rare photograph of a family of wild Sheffield Stands. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 112427 |  | A separated left turn lane at Store Street. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 72642 |  | A single-stage toucan crossing across Rochdale Road dual carriageway, connecting the shared-use footway of NCN60 to the entrance to Queen's Park. This is about the best feature of NCN60 in this area, which is generally baffling in its extraordinary routing! | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 183539 |  | A terrible cycle lane with conflict baked in at every point. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 34610 |  | A two way cycle route on the left, and a one way bus lane on the right. Buses enter this lane at speed from a 40mph dual carriageway. Cyclists heading towards the camera are supposed to ride near the white line, close to and unsegregated from oncoming buses. The cycle lane forms part of the TransPennineTrail NCN62 so is regularly used by cyclists who are unfamiliar with this arrangement. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 72647 |  | A very poor entrance to the Hendham Vale path next to Queen's Park. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 81040 |  | Access to the A57(M) underpass - across the motorway slip-road | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 142541 |  | Active travel route along sharston Road to connect Paletine Road via Longley Lane to Brownley Road | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 89972 |  | Advanced green signal for cyclists | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 17143 |  | Advert for New Islington, Manchester, in a Shared Space area | Road environment: Misc road |
| 19401 |  | Alexandra Park Road Bridge Location: Whalley Range, Manchester (England, United Kingdom) Fallowfield Loop cycle path. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways |
| 105370 |  | An interesting way to mark a cycle lane but the end result is that it's almost invisible to everyone, and completely invisible to those pedestrians with poor eyesight. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 122942 |  | An off road cycleway within the northern edge of Wythenshawe Park would be welcomed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 170033 |  | 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. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 35213 |  | And Another Appalling installation of cycle stands, one of many by Manchester Council in Wythenshawe civic centre, they haven't got a clue! | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 35211 |  | Another Appalling installation of cycle stands, one of many by Manchester Council in Wythenshawe civic centre, millimetres away from the fence | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 35212 |  | Another Appalling installation of cycle stands, one of many by Manchester Council in Wythenshawe civic centre, why not use the hardstanding on the right? | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 17199 |  | Another convert to the Bickerton Classic | Bicycle: Misc bicycles |
| 87803 |  | Another rumble strip to keep cycle speeds low - as you approach the speed bump #87804. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways |
| 87804 |  | Another speed bump - this time with zebra stripes on the top. A few metres along there is yet another rumble strip behind a bus shelter #87805. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways |
| 103717 |  | Another triumph for the all-powerful cycle lobby. Look at how much space they have managed to get away from the poor subjugated motorist. t.co/trskT70z6r | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 35210 |  | Appalling installation of cycle stands, one of many by Manchester Council in Wythenshawe civic centre | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 47632 |  | Apparently this photo of a Police officer parking across double yellow lines while nipping into a local supermarket went viral, from... www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/police-have-been-warned-not-to-park-1297631 | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 17153 |  | Approaching the B of the Bang sculpture | Destination: Misc destinations |
| 145210 |  | Approaching the Parkway East->West is very, very dangerous at busy times. There is a straight-on cycle path that cars simply ignore and cut straight in front of unsuspecting/trusting cyclist. The lights/stopline need bringing forward (Eastward), before the split in the lanes. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 112436 |  | Arrows and sharrows on Store Street. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 17208 |  | Artistic response to B of the Bang | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 17209 |  | Artistic response to B of the Bang | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 17210 |  | Artistic response to B of the Bang | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 17211 |  | Artistic response to B of the Bang | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 17212 |  | Artistic response to B of the Bang | Bicycle: Event bicycles |
| 112911 |  | ASL Ancoats, Manchester | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 95566 |  | At least two staircases close to Manchester, on the Rochdale Canal, have a ramp at the side, to help wheel a bicycle up. A long ramp to cycle up would be better but space is limited and this is a historic canal. | Track: Good practice track |
| 87802 |  | Attempt to mitigate conflict with pedestrians accessing the bus stops. Speed bump on the cycleway slows down cyclists and large painted signs warn pedestrians which way to look. A bit further along are some rumble strips #87803. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways |
| 17154 |  | B of the Bang sculpture, being decommissioned | Destination: Misc destinations |
| 174607 |  | Badly overgrown cycle path alongside this busy road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 37142 |  | Barlow Moor Road. Rationalising street furniture. The cycle stands double to prevent illegal pavement driving. Taken outside Moor Allerton Preparatory School in Didsbury, and in between the bollards outside the school are located Sheffield Stands. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 72770 |  | Barrier with gaps at each side on Hendham Vale | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |

| 176019 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare |
| 176020 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare |
| 176012 |  | Bee Network dock. I have a feeling these should have bollards behind them, a reversing lorry might hit them. | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare |
| 134952 |  | Beech Road should be opened to pedestrians and cyclists and closed to private motor vehicles for most of the day. The surrounding streets will then need to be appropriately filtered. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 125103 |  | Better provision for pedestrians as cars speed over the roundabout which at busy times makes it hard to cross and this is usually used by parents and children going to the primary school | Track: Problem track |
| 25110 |  | Bicycle Doctor, Rusholme, Manchester | Bike shop: Misc bikeshops |
| 166573 |  | Bicycles do not fit in the sole lift provided on the north side of this bridge. This bridge likely infringes the Equality Act 2010. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 91987 |  | Big bike shop in Manchester | Bike shop: Infrastructure bikeshops |
| 52780 |  | Bike in a pink window. | Bicycle: Misc bicycles |
| 81029 |  | Bike pump at covered parking, Manchester Royal Infirmary | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 72888 |  | Bikes locked to railings at Victoria Metrolink, but no obvious provision of any cycle parking stands. | Bicycle: Problem bicycles |
