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.
Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. The two planters have been moved from their proper positions by vandals.
This is a shared footway. A new entrance to a private business park has been built across it. This is really, really bad infrastructure. The islands are too small for long bicycles with trailers, the angles are severe and motorists will ... [more]
#carsoncycleroutes these people have a nice driveway. Would have been nice to use it instead of the cyclelane :) https://t.co/bFwz9ygb7g
Manchester Chester Road This road had major works done recently and had lane closures but the world did not end ! Email to saferstreets@manchester.gov.uk safestreetstrafford.commonplace.is/comments/5edc80126286f92848939dd1/ A temporary prot ... [more]
Manchester Chorlton. New Coop store has cycle parking for 3 bikes in correct place but are too close to the wall (there should be space for 4 at two hoops). Near front entrance and overlooked.
Manchester Northenden . Coop store has cycle parking for 10 bikes in correct place . Near front entrance and overlooked . Not sure why the bollards are needed.
Manchester Salford bridge over River Irwell Trinity Way. A sensible way to slow down cycles. Bollards set at at least 2m apart with SLOW sign on approach both sides. Compare this with most other attempts some of which exclude all but the mo ... [more]
Spinningfields Manchester . 2 car spaces given over to 24 cycle parking spaces near to the Coop. Carshapedparking. https://www.cyclestreets.net/location/105368/ WOULD @co opuk CONSIDER (encouraging local councils) PUTTING CYCLE PARKING ON ... [more]
Email from Wythenshawe NHS Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Estates & Facilities Directorate and PALS I am delighted to say that we have now installed hoops in this area – please see an update from the manager below. thank you ... [more]
This dark, unlit, narrow and filthy passageway with bollards at each end is on the Fallowfield Loop diversion. Would you use this at night?
The wear on the left shows that many people choose to ignore this annoying chicane, which also serves as a point at which to mug users.
The barriers have been replaced with something less stupid, but it's unbelievable in this day and age that Sustrans, a walking and cycling charity, feel this is at all appropriate. WE DO NOT WANT BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRAVEL.
This side road crossing used to be quite good, but it's since been repainted incorrectly.. https://t.co/aHZYYVTJck
This is part of the diversion from the Fallowfield Loop while the bridge is being replaced, but the lack of dropped kerbs makes it inaccessible by bicycle or wheelchair.
The ludicrous barrier to the ramp onto the Fallowfield Loop. This discriminatory obstacle should be removed, immediately.
Hasty Lane: A solitary bollard (thank God it isn't a chicane) protects this overgrown and slippery ramp down to the tunnel beneath the motorway.
Hasty Lane: Once in the tunnel, however, the surface is much improved. This could be a valuable route if it were better taken care of.
A lack of maintenance has left this ramp in a disgusting and possibly dangerous condition. Reported.
'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.
Opened by the Secretary of State for the Environment, but not a public right of way over the bridge.
