| 190616 |  | This trial filter on Hartington Road is designed to stop ratrunning through the residential estate, by motorists trying to avoid queues of traffic on the A6. A very good idea IMO. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 190137 |  | Junction upgrades in progress. A separate cycle crossing will be provided here. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 190135 |  | The cycleway as of January 2023 has received some much-needed leaf and mud clearance. The water you can see is mostly standing, there is a small trickle across the muddy part. Most of the sand and silt here has been cleared. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 190134 |  | The cycleway as of January 2023 has received some much-needed leaf and mud clearance. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 190133 |  | The cycleway as of January 2023 has received some much-needed leaf and mud clearance. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189965 |  | A line of parked vehicles blocking the highway is what greets you as you exit the cycleway from this roundabout. And shortly after, a protected cycleway starts again. These parking spaces should be removed.- there's a good chance those vehicles are only there so people can share the drive on the motorway. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 189963 |  | Barriers like this and a very poor, cheap surface, make cycling between this housing estate and the nearby Chadwick Lane impossible. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 189962 |  | Brand new Bee Network tfgm cycleways through Castleton in construction. This is phase one of works, there should be three phases in total. Very welcome on this pretty awful road. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189961 |  | Brand new Bee Network tfgm cycleways through Castleton in construction. This is phase one of works, there should be three phases in total. Very welcome on this pretty awful road. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189960 |  | Brand new Bee Network tfgm cycleways through Castleton in construction. This is phase one of works, there should be three phases in total. Very welcome on this pretty awful road. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189953 |  | Example of the walking/cycling crossings on this new road. A bit outdated, but useful all the same. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 189951 |  | New cycleway along the new link road. Pretty decent and nice and smooth. Quite wide too. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189949 |  | New cycleway along Pilsworth Road. Pretty decent, nice and smooth. It's only short as of 2023 though. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189947 |  | Pointless discriminatory barrier on Chadwick Lane. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 189945 |  | The cycleway around this roundabout has been placed on the inside. Works fine, although you have to wait at the crossings. I presume the cycleway is lowered so they don't have to modify the bridge railings. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 189943 |  | Mountain bikes maybe, but forget about road bikes here. Not happening. | Track: Misc track | |
| 189928 |  | New cycle facility that ends abruptly, one can only assume it will continue at a later date. This would be a very welcome improvement to this absolutely awful, scary road. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 189683 |  | A bit rough at this point but perfectly ridable on a road bike. The rest of the road is nice and smooth and a good alternative to riding up the A560. | Track: Misc track | |
| 189478 |  | The diabolically bad Dean Lane cycleway. The route is fine. The width is fine. But the dropped entrances to private driveways aren't necessary (Dutch entrance kerbs should be used). The real problem though is just how steep the dropped entrances are. They're incredible. If you do any kind of normal speed your front wheel actually lifts off the cycleway. This is appallingly bad work from Stockport Council. They should be ashamed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 189477 |  | The diabolically bad Dean Lane cycleway. The route is fine. The width is fine. But the dropped entrances to private driveways aren't necessary (Dutch entrance kerbs should be used). The real problem though is just how steep the dropped entrances are. They're incredible. If you do any kind of normal speed your front wheel actually lifts off the cycleway. This is appallingly bad work from Stockport Council. They should be ashamed. Vido at: twitter.com/tom_a_jeffs/status/1614926379438714886 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 189476 |  | Cycle crossing of Wallbank Road. It could probably use some colour treatment (dyed asphalt) and be clearly raised above the carriageway, but it's not bad. There's a shared zebra crossing of Bridge Lane in the background. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 189340 |  | 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 houses above. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 189339 |  | New bridge construction across the river, to replace the existing (and dangerous) bridge slightly to the south. Expected to be open June 2023. | General sign/notice: Event signs | |
| 185791 |  | This is a dangerously narrow cycleway, care and attention is required to avoid hitting the poles (and falling off). | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 185790 |  | Leicester has some nice cycleways! | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 185789 |  | This is one of the only access points to the cycleway and it is absolutely useless. It is extremely hard to get a bicycle down these steps. A ramp is needed. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 185788 |  | A bit narrow but a perfectly good cycleway | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 184841 |  | Railway crossing closure notice | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 184840 |  | Railway crossing closed. See #184841. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 184839 |  | Narrow, but good fast asphalt here. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 184838 |  | Bridge closed for some reason. The diversion is ok although I can imagine when the road is busy not pleasant. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 184837 |  | Pointless barriers on the TPT. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 184836 |  | TPT diversion route due to electricity works. Actually, an excellent diversion. There are one or two places where water has damaged the surface but it's all easy to ride on. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 184835 |  | Unlawful discriminatory barrier that's also completely useless as people pass by the side of it. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 184834 |  | An unsafe road crossing at this point - visibility is very poor and traffic speeds are high. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 184833 |  | An unsafe road crossing at this point - visibility is very poor and traffic speeds are high. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 184747 |  | New chicanes on the TPT, a vast improvement on the old a-frames. | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions | |
| 184743 |  | New surface on the TPT. This new surface "ends" just around the corner. There is cycle parking outside the building, and a mobile coffee shop out of view to the left. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 184742 |  | New barrier on the TPT and it's a very big improvement over what was there before. It's quite easy to slalom through and it's sole purpose seems to be to slow people down before they cross the road. | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions | |
| 184741 |  | New flexipave surface on the TPT. While not as smooth as asphalt, it is at least better than the dusty potholed surface that was here before. And it'll be usable all year around, including by horses. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 184740 |  | New barrier on the TPT and it's a very big improvement over what was there before. It's quite easy to slalom through and it's sole purpose seems to be to slow people down before they cross the road. This view shows the bespoke lettering on the barriers. | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions | |
| 184739 |  | New barrier on the TPT and it's a very big improvement over what was there before. It's quite easy to slalom through and it's sole purpose seems to be to slow people down before they cross the road. | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions | |
| 183548 |  | 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 enough to lift them up, but there are Sheffield stands around the corner. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking | |
| 183539 |  | A terrible cycle lane with conflict baked in at every point. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 182534 |  | A protected cycleway has been added to Fender Lane, on each side. This is excellent. The bus stop is good too, the layby has been kept but pushed outward by the new cycle lane, which cedes priority to crossing pedestrians. Wirral Council are to be commended on this excellent facility. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 182441 |  | Hugely overgrown access to the Bridgewater Canal from Ashburton Road West. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 182440 |  | A significantly widened footway and a new pedestrian crossing, along with a dropped kerb to a filtered street. This is great from Salford Council. People used to park on the road here - no more. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 182439 |  | An obvious missing link. A short simple connection here between this new estate and Lansdowne Road would enable residents to walk/cycle quickly and easily straight into the centre of Monton Green. Canal Bank is an awful road to walk and cycle along. A missed opportunity. Plus, there's a park nearby. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 181995 |  | Barrier-free ramp with flat spots for disabled people to pause. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 181994 |  | A barrier-free ramp with flat spots for disabled users to pause. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 181851 |  | A poignant tribute to 48-year-old Darren Maironis, of Tyldesley, who died at this junction in summer 2021. | Road environment: Event road | |
| 181174 |  | The landowner find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00995545 (Mainline Pipelines Ltd) has decided to replace a perfectly accessible gap to a path, with an inaccessible gate. That's yet another path closed off to disabled people. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 180130 |  | Extremely difficult to get this Cargoroo cargo bike through this barrier. It's high time the relevant authorities did their duty and removed these illegal barriers. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 177546 |  | High quality cycle parking in this retail estate. The roof is a nice touch. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking | |
| 176328 |  | New crossings of the motorway slip roads. This is better than the previous uncontrolled crossings, but unfortunately the wait times are very long and do not appear to consider if the slip road has any cars on it. | Other: Problem general | |
| 176327 |  | New wider shared footway around Tabley Interchange. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 176326 |  | New, much wider shared footway around Tabley Interchange. A big improvement on what used to be here. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 176324 |  | New crossing of the A556. While this certainly improves safety on the previous method of crossing (which was legally dodgy and not safe), the long wait times do not help. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 176319 |  | This really should be a ramp. These steps limit access by disabled people. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 176318 |  | Awkward entrance to this bridge, with an unnecessary bollard. And the bridge's surface is very slippery, with numerous flaws that create trip hazards. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 176020 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176019 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176017 |  | 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. | Bike share: Problem bikeshare | |
| 176016 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176015 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176014 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176013 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176012 |  | Bee Network dock. I have a feeling these should have bollards behind them, a reversing lorry might hit them. | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176011 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176009 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176008 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176007 |  | Bee Network dock | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 176006 |  | Bee Network cycle hire station | Bike share: Good practice bikeshare | |
| 175822 |  | This formerly horrible unpaved track has been upgraded. There's still an unpaved section south of here to Hermitage Lane but this upgrade makes life much, much easier. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 175702 |  | Bit bumpy but otherwise fine. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 175701 |  | New path from the Middlewood Way to a new housing estate. Bit bumpy but otherwise fine. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 175636 |  | A very nice covered cycle parking area at this new Aldi supermarket. There are other sheffield stands nearby. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking | |
| 175467 |  | This nuisance bridge is difficult for almost all users to cross. Difficult with a bicycle. Impossible with a tricycle or wheelchair. It's inaccessible, with steps on either side. People cannot pass by eachother, leading to long queues on nice days. It's high time this bridge was replaced with something much wider, so all users can cross. | Congestion: Problem congestion | |
| 175425 |  | Just to respond to older comments, this nice bridge now has a fully protected bidirectional cycleway for people to use. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 175424 |  | Very nice new bi-directional cycleway alongside Newport Street that enables cycling between Trinity Street and Great Moor Street. Newport Street is one-way for motor traffic so this is a very welcome addition, especially as it connects directly to a new CYCLOPS junction. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 175423 |  | This might have been better as a continuous footway, but only buses enter here, and from one direction. The cycle lane enters a pedestrian area on the other side so I don't think much has been lost. | Dutch-style cycleway: Misc dutchcycleways | |
| 175261 |  | Nice cycle tracks along here, but I'm not sure the junction is all it could be. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 175260 |  | A bus stop bypass in construction on Liverpool Street. A good deal of the carriageway has been reclaimed for active travel here. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 175259 |  | Construction of a new cycleway includes a bus stop bypass. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 175258 |  | A family of planters on Frederick St. This road is lovely and quiet now that it's been modally filtered. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 174607 |  | Badly overgrown cycle path alongside this busy road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 174606 |  | Overgrown cyclepath alongside the road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 174577 |  | A good bus stop bypass and a great new set of cycle tracks on this major road. This route will eventually form a continuous cycle route from Chorlton to Manchester. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 174543 |  | Annoying inaccessible barrier that should all be replaced with bollards. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 174363 |  | Despite my complaint in 2020 Manchester City Council still have not maintained this underpass. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 174022 |  | The M60 footbridge pictured in 2006, before it became badly overgrown through lack of maintenance. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions | |
| 173889 |  | Slightly jarring pedestrian crossing, designed to slow motorists. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 173888 |  | The surface on this cycleway is superb. And it's 41km long! | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 173708 |  | Don't attempt to cycle up or down here! | Track: Problem track | |
| 173707 |  | Really poor cycle parking facilities at this ferry terminal. No enclosed waiting area for cyclists. And you're not allowed inside the terminal building with your bike. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking | |
| 173706 |  | Good entrance to this cycleway | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 173705 |  | Good way of indicating that only motoring is blocked here. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs | |
| 173704 |  | Priority ceded at the roundabout | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 173703 |  | Wonderful bidirectional cycleway in this French Town. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 172669 |  | Sheffield stands are easy to use by all. Unfortunately disabled access is restricted by a gate to the left. Disabled users have to call a number to access the castle. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
