Any event in Manchester causes gridlock We need to move our car parks to the ring road We need to stop through traffic with a circulation plan

"Why do we spend all this money (<0.1% of the transport budget) on cycle paths?😡 Cyclists never use them!" Well, over 18000 car-free journeys have been made on the brand new Pier to Pier Way, from Weston-super-Mare to Clevedon... ...in the first MONTH! somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-…?

This still isn't accessible for wheelchairs, adapted cycles, trikes and for blind and partially sighted people to navigate We are calling on Manchester Piccadilly to rethink their knee jerk approach to hostile vehicle mitigation

It's a real shame to see a city like Manchester with big ambitions on cycling, getting the absolute basics entirely wrong We expect better from the European Capital of Cycling 2024

What do you do when someone parks in a cycle lane?...🤨 ...Why, temporarily block off a vehicular lane & make it just for cyclists until the car has moved on, of course.

What an improvement to the centre 👏 🙌 Now for improved walking wheeling & cycling additions to some of the routes to get people there 🤞

Sunday 15 September is your deadline to send in an expression of interest for volunteering with the Walk Ride GM steering group 👇 Details via the link below

🤦 Lots of misinformed comments on our last post... Here's the Department for Transport advice on how cycle tracks should cross side roads / driveways.

Hey trainline there are way better images to promote Manchester than one of a multi storey car park!

On 4 September, when the new term begins, Oldham Council will become the first local authority in #GreaterManchester to use ANPR technology to keep children safe by reducing road danger near a school 👏 Well done to all involved in a big win for Oldham oldham.gov.uk/news/article/2…

Big news for the school run in Oldham 👀

How does Active Travel align with Labour's 5 Missions for Government? Louise Haigh

Cycle routes on main roads: ♿ Enable new user groups like families and disabled cyclists to use the road 📈 Achieve modal shift 🤕 Prevent injuries and fatal accidents 🚌 Reduce congestion 🫀 Benefit public health

Indirect, unattractive alternative routes: 💀 Perpetuate danger on the most popular route 🙈 Aren’t seen by the people you want to impact 📉 Allow main road congestion to keep worsening 🙋‍♀️ Deny safe routes to women and girls at night 🌳 Work well for some people, some of the time

Do you agree with Active Travel England? They've placed GM on a 'Capability Rating' of 3 (out of 4, same as last year). This is defined as "Strong local leadership and support, substantial network in place with increasing modal share". Full report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66d95911…
