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]
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]
UPDATE SEPT 2023 The bike dock station is out of use - I presume there are signs saying out of use or do not use UPDATE MAY 2023 A Bike Station has been installed for 12 bikes ! Just need some bikes parked there https://twitter.com/Cyclins ... [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]
[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]
Cargo bike overhangs carriageway, resulting in buses having to squeeze past. Different space requirements required for non-standard cycles.
Charles Street, Manchester. A new development with new cycle parking. Near a new park "Symphony Park"

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.
Bee Network dock. I have a feeling these should have bollards behind them, a reversing lorry might hit them.
Chorlton and Whalley Range Cargo bike hire . See also #174399 https://cargoroo.nl/en/how-does-it-work/
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]
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.
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]
Bicycles do not fit in the sole lift provided on the north side of this bridge. This bridge likely infringes the Equality Act 2010.
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 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]
The correct way to filter the entrance to a walking/cycling route - with bollards. Not stupid A-frames.
Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. Motorists have parked in this manner to stop other motorists driving along the pavement to bypass the filters.
