Special walk-and-text lanes have been provided in Spinningingfields, Manchester - for one day only, it's actually a marketing stunt.
The cycleway here is narrow and the surface poor, but this isn't such a bad thing - go too fast here and you risk a head-on collision with another cyclist. I think the overgrowth needs cutting back though.
New cycle control for the crossing. Buttons are better than induction loops, which can sometimes fail to register the presence of a bicycle.

Timperley Brooks Drive . The horse stile remains unused. Wouldn't it be better to make the bollard spacing wide enough for the biggest horse but narrow enough to prevent motor car access . Horse riders are using the space between the bolla ... [more]

If the steps and this path were replaced by a ramp, this public right of way might form a useful link between Collyhurst and Strangeways. There are 76 steps up to the bridge, and more steps on the opposite bank. It is not cycleable, alt ... [more]
This cycle crossing is also perfectly placed for pedestrians, which invites conflict. It might be better to widen it significantly and remove all road markings - let people decide what they want to do.
Several potentially serious issues here. The first is the requirement to give way to trams approaching over your shoulder, with little warning that this is about to happen. The second is the angle of the rails as they cross the road - thi ... [more]
Central Manchester . A short 50 yard section of Southmill Street has been made 1 way . Surely this is wide enough to allow 2 way cycling and a safer quiter route to Albert Sq.
Another triumph for the all-powerful cycle lobby. Look at how much space they have managed to get away from the poor subjugated motorist. https://t.co/trskT70z6r

RNCM Manchester lots of cycle parking in use by musicians . On the left is double decked parking popular because it's under cover (it's MCR ). Lots of on street parking in use as well.
Manchester Optegra token parking some distance from the front door . Stands are too close together if they are to be used properly

Chorlton/Streford Border on Hawthorn Lane . At least one of these barriers could be removed and still stop motor cars from using.
