| 113366 |  | This dark, unlit, narrow and filthy passageway with bollards at each end is on the Fallowfield Loop diversion. Would you use this at night? | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 113365 |  | Welcome to the Fallowfield Diversion route. Would you use this unlit and muddy underpass at night? | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 113364 |  | 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. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 113323 |  | 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. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |

| 112679 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 112678 |  | More pointless barriers. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 112677 |  | Extremely low headroom on this former canal tunnel makes cycling here a risky prospect. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 112676 |  | The ludicrous barrier to the ramp onto the Fallowfield Loop. This discriminatory obstacle should be removed, immediately. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 112539 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 112538 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways |

| 111507 |  | UPDATE 6/11/19 ref: P19/4196 from MFT Taking your concern on-board we will therefore seek to identify a suitable location closer to the Nightingale Centre where Sheffield Hoops can be installed. UPDATE 22/10 Email to pals@mft.nhs.uk ...... amazed to find out there is no cycle parking near to this new building despite the 100+ car parking places. I was able to park my bike to the railings of the mobile unit. However I think you will agree this is far from satisfactory. Can you confirm who is responsible for the site management of this centre ? Would you consider providing cycle stands near to the entrance and/or on the redundant car spaces next to the mobile unit ?........ Manchester Wythenshawe Hospital new Nightingdale Centre dealing with and preventing Breast Cancer . Health Promotion bunting in the waiting area.

| 111490 |  | Manchester Wythenshawe Hospital new Nightingdale Centre dealing with and preventing Breast Cancer . This space could be utilised for cycle parking. The bollards could be replaced with stands. The nearest parking is a long walk on the other side of the main road near the main hospital.

Manchester Wythenshawe Hospital new Nightingdale Centre dealing with and preventing Breast Cancer . The only feasible nearby parking is to lock to these railings.

| 109842 |  | Special walk-and-text lanes have been provided in Spinningingfields, Manchester - for one day only, it's actually a marketing stunt. | Other: Event general |
| 109188 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 109177 |  | Manchester Wythenshawe twitter.com/Samvironment/status/1148339368509288450 . One wonders why all that money was spent on creating a level crossing and not allowing it to be used . Cyclists will ride on pavement after using dropped kerbs to driveways and at junctions. No wonder people are asking that cycles are allowed on trams. They should be allowed free for both rider and cycle to compensate for this bad design. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 106985 |  | New cycle control for the crossing. Buttons are better than induction loops, which can sometimes fail to register the presence of a bicycle. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways |
| 105552 |  | Didsbury Manchester Corrections @BBCNWT - road space NOT parking space; Vehicle tax NOT road tax twitter.com/DJLewisUK/status/1093222881448873984 LAs can do something to stop pavement parking @livingstreets @MayorofGM @DJLewisUK @RKilpatrickMCR @Chris_Boardman @gmcycling www.livingstreets.org.uk/policy-and-resources/our-policy/pavement-parking The vehicle was registered after 20th May 1978 and therefore should have an MOT and it DOES NOT ! twitter.com/DJLewisUK/status/1093222881448873984 twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1093407207146835968 | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 105497 |  | 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 bollards. Obviously a lot better than the original kissing gate locked gate and horse stile. But it could be whole lot better and welcoming to adapted cycles. | Other: Problem general |
| 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 |
| 105369 |  | 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, although it is possible to walk a bike up there. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 105368 |  | A good way to make a point about how much space parked cars take from the highway. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 105178 |  | 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. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways |
| 105176 |  | 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 - this is difficult for any cyclist to navigate. As well as trying to cross those rails, on that angle, you have to contend with vehicles also wishing to use the same lane, as can be seen in the final picture. A better solution would be to divert all cyclists down Todd St (left in the first image), and then right, along Long Millgate, where a controlled cycle crossing already exists. Cyclists could then rejoin the main road a little further north, avoiding a great deal of conflict. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 104393 |  | 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. | Other: Problem general |
| 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 |

Manchester Metropolitan University Bonsall Street Hulme Manchester a cycle junction is impeded and made unsafe by 2 large bins and 2 small bins belonging to MMU @ManMetUni @GreenMMU @MMUEnvironment @VeoliaUK . Can these bins be located a little further along the path so they are well away from the critical and dangerous position at the junction ? twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1055771979775700992 twitter.com/MMUEnvironment/status/1055830672596787200 Bins can be seen on google image as well tinyurl.com/yd3wujbf | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 102955 |  | 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. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 102954 |  | Manchester Nell Lane nice cut through for cyclists and pedestrians | Other: Good practice general |
| 102953 |  | Manchester Optegra token parking some distance from the front door . Stands are too close together if they are to be used properly | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 102220 |  | Fallowfield Loop Tunnel near Sainsburys see also #102221? and #102051 This is a great opportunity . To reopen the tunnel under Sainsbury's and reopen the approaches to provide a continuous cycleway to avoid all the problems as described in adjacent comments. This would be a big ticket and show that Manchester means business. madcyclelanesofmanchester.blogspot.com/2011/04/fallowfield-loop-sainsburys-tunnel.html Camapigns have been running for decades to reopen this tunnel originally the reopening was objected to by GMPolice . NB this line is NOT a mistake it's where the cycleway should be routed . | Other: Problem general |
| 102051 |  | UPDATE see also #102221? and #102220 + tweet twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1037001921964503040 Comment has appeared mappinggm.org.uk/beelines/ It's the comment covering the dis of 'Dismantled Railway' next to Sherwood Street There is a tunnel under here which if reopened would solve lots of the problems here. I have added a comment on the mappinggm.org.uk/ which should appear on the map in the next few days . Other comments show that not many people know about this tunnel madcyclelanesofmanchester.blogspot.com/2011/04/fallowfield-loop-sainsburys-tunnel.html I understand the tunnel has been filled in with a solid foam, I believe, to stop people sleeping there. I also understand the tunnel was given the thumbs down by the civilian dept to Manchester Police that comments on architectural issues. There is a ‘dog leg’ in the way the path was routed under Wilmslow Road that they said created a blind spot in which undesirables could hide in and accost cyclists. Lobbyists for the Loop tried approaching Sainsbury’s to ask if they would consider providing lighting, CCTV, maybe even locking it at night - all things are negotiable - but at that time, ~2001, these ideas would not register. The cycling scene has changed in 20 to 30 years. There is in fact some provision built in. If you go down the ramp by the side of Sainsbury’s there’s a curious break in the island in the middle of the road, and if you look back and lift yourself to look over the brick wall you can see where the cycle track was intended to emerge from under the other side of Wilmslow Road. If you are travelling there with any people crossing that section please make a slight detour to show them - to keep the idea alive, at least. I understand the issue was raised at Cycle Forums, time after time. At one, the councillor (who was supportive but knew the reality) ruled that it would not be discussed again. **** Interestingly a new councillor, who later became Mayor, (got deselected in May), got in touch when he discovered the tunnel. He ran into the brick wall. Another idea is to route the FLoop around the far side of the Carpark at Sainsbury’s, avoiding conflict with the cars coming and going. As the years rolled by, some of us think that the Fallowfield Loop was the one thing that pump primed a local sea change in the cycle culture - of the council. The original leaflets that got done called it the Fallowfield Loop, and the subsequent editions rechristened the leaflet as ‘The Manchester Cycleway’. Thanks to council engineers who are still around. Things like decent parking stands started appearing in a few places. It all coincided with the National Cycle Strategy and support from a new breed of councillors and town hall staff. If it was happening now, I’m sure Sainsbury’s would have had to made a top notch tunnel, in consultation with users, before they got planning permission, from the more cycling conscious council that exists now. The present junction is a dog’s breakfast, a headache for all the engineers who are tasked with creating a junction at the busy Wilmslow Road level. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 101577 |  | Water street near Victoria and Albert Hotel funky drawbridge is quite fun though, when you cycle over it, it tips! But it no longer leads anywhere. twitter.com/SalfordMH/status/1028034123611418627 Hopefully this bridge will lead to somewhere when the long awaited replacement to Princes Bridge is opened (it's complete for use by cyclists but is waiting construction and development work to start and complete by 2020 at earliest) #11938 #87848 .

| 101315 |  | The traffic lights at this junction do not detect cycles approaching from Chelsfield Grove onto Maudeth Rd West - reported to GMUTC. Also when the pedestrian lights are green to cross Mauldeth Rd West this would be an ideal and safe opportunity for cycles to be allowed to cross from Chelsfield Grove onto Mauldeth Rd W | Congestion: Problem congestion |
| 101192 |  | Sackville St Manchester UPDATE The University have replied "Although this area is marked following the completion of GEIC building, it is ambiguous for cyclists at the moment we admit. We are currently working on changes to the paths around this route", After extensive construction work at the University - A new high kerb is placed on the cycle lane an obstacle for contraflow cycles heading South onto the off road section www.cyclestreets.net/location/81043/ @OfficialUoM Sackville St @GMcycling #YCMIU #AWTH @Chris_Boardman @UoMsust Suggest that a stop line is placed well back from the junction so that the cycle lane can be widened here repainted and realigned to join the off road bit. At the same time the whole of this kerb should be dropped in case a cyclist needs to avoid a stray pedestrian or inattentive driver. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
