| 104222 |  | Very poor surface throughout this track. | Track: Problem track | |
| 104221 |  | Another loss of priority to a road used by very few vehicles. The cycle lane should continue straight across here, and cars be forced to give way. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 104194 |  | This lane is inadequate as motorists regularly encroach on it as they round the corner. A simple bollard on the corner would solve this immediately. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 104193 |  | A protected bypass has been built here, although it might have been better if it remained protected the closer one gets to the bridge (see the photo on the corner). | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104192 |  | An excellent example of how to build a safe environment for all. This design is used on the north side of the bridge too. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104181 |  | A new ramp down to the new cycle track alongside the A555. This is a good surface and is well signposted. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104180 |  | A new section of cycle path alongside the A555. The surface is high quality and it's quite wide (there's a big deep ditch to the right that restricts it). | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104179 |  | Bollards don't need to be ugly. These bollards are disguised as novelty pencils outside Ludworth Primary School. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 104133 |  | I'm not sure what the legal status of this route is but you can open the gate to reach the quieter service road. This is a useful shortcut if you're headed west, toward Lymn. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 104132 |  | The paint to the left shows where the old "cycle path" began, leaving the carriageway. The footpath on the right is in terrible condition and does not improve the further north one walks. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 104131 |  | This crossing is unsignalled and traffic speeds are high. Great care needs to be taken crossing road. | Other: Problem general | |
| 104130 |  | This gate needs to be replaced, preferably removed, so people can walk and cycle without obstruction. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104129 |  | A nice wide cycleway here. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 104128 |  | This gate could be improved but fits a standard bicycle easily. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions | |
| 104126 |  | Yarwoodhead Lane forms part of a potential connection between the old (now bypassed) Chester Road, which is a quiet route with its own wide cycleway, and Altrincham. There is almost no traffic whatsoever on this road. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 104125 |  | The Yarwoodhead Lane bridge forms part of a potential connection between the old (now bypassed) Chester Road, which is a quiet route with its own wide cycleway, and Altrincham. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 104124 |  | The Yarwoodhead Lane bridge forms part of a potential connection between the old (now bypassed) Chester Road, which is a quiet route with its own wide cycleway, and Altrincham. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 104123 |  | Under several inches of overgrowth a hard surface exists here. This would seem to be a footway that has not been maintained. If restored it might be a useful route along this dangerous section of road. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 104122 |  | Under several inches of overgrowth a hard surface exists here. This would seem to be a footway that has not been maintained. If restored it might be a useful route along this dangerous section of road. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 104114 |  | Cycle crossings alongside the new A555 bypass. Not yet complete in this picture. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104113 |  | Cycle route continues west between the highway and a sports ground. I suspect the land behind the fence will soon become overgrown. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104112 |  | The cycle path leaves the main highway and continues west toward Woodford Road. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104111 |  | High quality shared cycle path alongside the new bypass. It is a little on the narrow side but there aren't that many pedestrians or cyclists here. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104110 |  | High quality access ramp to the cycle path along the new bypass. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104109 |  | An example of an angled kerb used to gain access across a footway, rather than dropping the footway to road level. This is much better for pedestrians, who have a more level surface to walk across, and makes it less likely that they will feel as though they have to give way to vehicles crossing it. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 104108 |  | One of the consequences of installing barriers like this is severe degradation of the surface. I'd prefer the barrier to be removed completely, but a simple solution is a couple of bags of gravel. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104106 |  | Two junctions with light traffic that force cyclists to cede priority. Why is this the case? There is enough space to make motorists wait for pedestrians and cyclists to cross. The result is unnecessary conflict. It's worth noting that before this junction was modified, the cycle track formed part of the carriageway - and the side roads gave way to that carriageway. But now that motorists cannot use it, they get priority over it? | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 104105 |  | Here priority is taken away from the cycle track and given over to a road that sees little to no traffic. This is pointless and dangerous - motorists should be expected to wait for cyclists before crossing the cycleway. The signage is confusing - cyclists give way to motorists giving way? Who goes first? | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 104104 |  | Dashed lines across the carriageway might help here, but give way markings are needed before the tactile paving so cyclists aren't tempted to wander into the carriageway. The surface here is loose, the turns are tight, this could lead to people slipping. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 104103 |  | Priority taken away from the cycle path and given to a petrol station that is closed, and a hotel that sees low traffic levels. Both these are entrances to private property. Priority should remain with the cycle path. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 104102 |  | Priority given over to a side road that serves only one property. This is utterly pointless in a location that sees very low level of traffic. Priority should be given to walking and cycling here. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 104088 |  | As on the south side of the railway, barriers here encourage the growth of weeds that eventually make the path too narrow to be shared. The barriers should be removed, the overgrowth eliminated, and the path restored to the full width of this route. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104087 |  | A good surface on this railway bridge. This route is very popular with pedestrians and cyclists, despite the barriers on either side. | Other: Good practice general | |
| 104086 |  | A barrier encourages the growth of weeds on this approach to a walking/cycling bridge over the railway. These should be removed and replaced with a simple, single bollard. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104055 |  | The TPT in typically fine form. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 104054 |  | This bridge could form part of a useful quick link between the estates on either side, if only it had a good surface. The surface on the approach roads also needs significant work. | Track: Problem track | |
| 104053 |  | Zero maintenance here has caused the path to become completely overgrown. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104002 |  | Extremely poor surface on this road, with very deep potholes and poor lighting. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 104001 |  | I'm not sure why the path is laid out this way but why can't we just cycle in a straight line, rather than have to weave through these obstructions? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 104000 |  | An unreasonable layout here, probably due to the large gates. The path should be straight across, to avoid making these awkward turns. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103999 |  | Extremely narrow footway here is a safety issue, two cyclists cannot pass easily. Also, the low sun at evening time flickers through the fencing, which is a huge distraction. | Other: Problem general | |
| 103961 |  | Redesigning this junction to prioritise walking and cycling would help create a quiet alternative to the A56 Manchester Road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 103949 |  | A dangerous toucan crossing near Saddle junction. The button on the right controls the first carriageway, but you have to stop in the island and press another button to stop traffic in the other carriageway. The crossing looks as though the button controls traffic from both directions. Someone will be killed here if this is not fixed. The button should stop ALL traffic. | General sign/notice: Problem signs | |
| 103937 |  | New protected infrastructure under construction in Wigan. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 103936 |  | Pointless barrier on this former railway. The area is littered with rubbish like this. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103931 |  | Visit the new Krypton Factor studios in Dunham to find a series of fiendishly difficult barriers to cycling. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103914 |  | The path here is being improved (this is not the final surface), but a new drainage system has stopped it from being permanently flooded. The route from Ringley Road to Nob End will, shortly, be completely rideable. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 103856 |  | An upgraded surface here (camera right, looking northwest), would enable a safe means of crossing the motorway and getting to the Bridgewater Circle. | Track: Problem track | |
| 103855 |  | Potential for a continuous route here, enabling cycling on quiet roads between Carrington and Woodsend. Two footways required, with a central cycleway. There is enough space for this. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103854 |  | Potential for a good route from Carrington to Woodsend, this section would benefit from extended footways either side (there is space for this) and a central cycleway straight through. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103853 |  | Potential for a good route here between Carrington and Woodsend, quiet streets. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103852 |  | Potential route through here, needs obstructions removing and surface treating. Potential for slight widening by taking some of the allotment land. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103851 |  | A useful link south currently made illegal by the signage. Potential for slight widening by removing a metre of the allotment land, although there's enough room anyway. | General sign/notice: Problem signs | |
| 103850 |  | Potentially useful link (moreso for pedestrians I think) westwards. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103849 |  | A potential route to Pennybridge Lane? Needs vegetation cutting back, barriers removing. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103848 |  | A potential short link to Balmoral Road? This route is streetlit. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 103847 |  | Ridiculous obstructions that should be removed. The bollards should be replaced with something spaced further apart, so larger bicycles and tricycles can pass. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103846 |  | Very minor work required here to improve access from the street, to Pennylane Bridge. | Track: Misc track | |
| 103845 |  | Decent wide surface here, but it narrows as it heads to Higher Road. Could do with being widened to full extent of highway. | Track: Problem track | |
| 103844 |  | A poor quality exit from the bridge onto Railway Road. Should be a raised crossing with ped/cyclist priority. The current layout encourages collisions between pedestrians and cyclists. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103843 |  | Potential route across the railway bridge, between Higher and Railway Roads. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103842 |  | Very good potential route between Winchester and Canterbury Roads. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 103841 |  | Potential cycle route to Lostock Road. | General sign/notice: Misc signs | |
| 103840 |  | Potential exit onto Lostock Road, for a cycle route. | General sign/notice: Misc signs | |
| 103838 |  | Part of the Lostock Road 1930s cycleway, in a very sorry state and blocked by illegally-parked vehicles. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 103837 |  | A potential route to the Trafford Centre, needs a slightly wider track. | Track: Misc track | |
| 103836 |  | A potential cycling route across Davyhulme Park to the Trafford Centre. | Track: Misc track | |
| 103835 |  | A good path that needs clearing of debris and cutting back of overgrowth (which blocks the streetlights) | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 103834 |  | School run traffic on this otherwise quiet residential street, which would form part of an excellent route from Carrington to Woodsend. | Congestion: Problem congestion | |
| 103531 |  | New compacted "centrak" surface makes this formerly impassible towpath now cycleable. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 103530 |  | A new compacted surface and relaid setts makes this arm of the canal now easily cycleable. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 103397 |  | Utterly pointless cycle barriers. No reason for them to be here. Visibility is good, there won't be a speed issue on the bridge given the approaches, so the only reason I can think that money has been wasted here is to prevent motorcycle access. Don't we have a police force to deal with illegal road use? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 102744 |  | A good solid surface here and quite smooth too. A bit narrow perhaps but it's perfectly usable. Needs sweeping and cleaning though. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 102741 |  | Welcome to the National Cycle Network. Please leave your bicycle at home and bring a helicopter! How on earth do Sustrans justify crap like this? | Track: Problem track | |
| 102728 |  | 17 vehicles (I counted) obstructing the cycleway along the Mile Road, courtesy of SHB Vehicle Hire. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 102726 |  | A high quality restoration of the listed Lumb Viaduct. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 101627 |  | Cycle parking at the hospital | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking | |
| 101612 |  | Pointless obstructions. Most of the users here are on the cycle route, so why do they have to give way to the odd rare bus using the adjoining road? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101611 |  | More pointless anti-cycling furniture | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101610 |  | Perhaps someone at the council has a business making these barriers? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101609 |  | Yet more stupid obstructions on this route. Why are they here? Why not use bollards of the type seen behind the kissing gate? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101608 |  | More ridiculous obstructions along this otherwise good cycle route. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101607 |  | A pointless obstruction on one of the poorer parts of this cycle route. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101606 |  | Good surface on this route. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101605 |  | There are a few slightly bumpy bits but generally this is an excellent route between Tottington and Bury. The existing barriers have been partially removed. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101604 |  | Silly barriers blocking access to the cycle path. Utterly pointless. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 101310 |  | The criminally underused Daisyfield Greenway, the surface throughout is superb but at the moment, it doesn't really connect very well west of here. Hopefully it will be linked up properly to the new cycleway that leads to Bolton. A link exists through a few streets, but a short section of new cycleway behind those streets would make it far more useful. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101309 |  | This access road used to be a very rough, potholed gravel track. It is now a lovely smooth asphalt surface, perfect for cycling. | Other: Good practice general | |
| 101308 |  | A dirty (due to construction) but very smooth new cycleway. Behind the photographer the cycleway toward Hardman St is not yet complete. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101307 |  | Panoramic view of the route the new cycleway takes across this existing bridge. At the top left you can just about see two metal fence sections - these are to slow cyclists approaching the steep curve, and seem spaced adequately to allow most cycles through. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101306 |  | Beautiful surface on the new cycleway. Note the gravel on either side, which may be to reduce overgrowth? | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101305 |  | A very smooth surface across an existing bridge, leading onto Buckingham Drive. Very well done. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101304 |  | A new cycleway between North Radcliffe and Bury. Very smooth surface, no silly barriers, these bollards are perfect. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 100289 |  | A rare photograph of a family of wild Sheffield Stands. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 98914 |  | There's something to be said about the cycle parking provision when cyclists would rather use the much more secure and safe handrail. You can see the parking in the distance - you can't secure the whole bike to those useless things. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking | |
| 97729 |  | Recent roadworks here have exposed just how much of the footway is covered in overgrowth. It gets worse the further south you go, so you're walking/cycling alongside HGVs doing 50mph only inches from you. It's very scary. Cheshire East Council fixed the footway near Linnards Lane, so perhaps they can also fix this? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 97055 |  | Zero drainage on this section of the "National Cycle Network", otherwise known as the "local boating network" | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 96837 |  | Nice wide track here making it safe to cycle around this corner. It used to be very slippery and rutted here. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 96836 |  | New track surface through the breached section of the canal. | Track: Good practice track | |
| 96835 |  | Cyclists once had to dismount here if travelling east, but now the track has been raised to meet the coping stones. | Track: Good practice track |
