Working to make walking and cycling more comfortable and safer across Stretford.


Another CYCLOPS opens in Manchester! Sandy Lane is the final junction of the Chorlton Cycleway



A56 cones update: The cones were removed overnight as part of a systematic theft - they were not removed by the council. This has been reported to the police and we’ll be working with the police going forward on this matter.

LATEST NEWS: Stretford Kingsway - For those that missed the display in the Mall, here’s some photos - be interested in comments. Part 1 the overall scheme. @WalkRideGM @WalkRideM32 @BeeUrmston @echamings @tom_a_jeffs @HarryHamishGray @mikeymagnetic @domcycling Next: Section 1







Managed to also get a sneak preview today whilst out on the bike 🚴🏻♂️ of the new walking & cycling infrastructure, road surfacing and public realm works on Liverpool Street - looking very impressive!👍 Looking forward to works being completed and this all being fully open. 🚴🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚶♀️




Data from DfT shows that people on bikes outnumbered car drivers on Blackfriars Bridge (Central London) last year. In 2000 the average daily flow was 50,000 cars and 1,125 bikes. In 2020 it was 8900 bikes, and 8800 cars and taxis. A protected cycleway was installed in 2016.

We’re encouraging more people to cycle and walk through a new Executive Agency body, #ActiveTravel England. 🚴 🚶 @Chris_Boardman will be leading the new body as the first interim national Active Travel Commissioner. Find out more about our plans here 👉 gov.uk/government/new…
