Our friends at What If? in Edgeley have an exciting double-event this Thursday, 25 September! Stockport's very own e-bike hub library is having a launch event, where you can try out an e-bike, and book a month-long loan.

A good news story for a dreary Friday! What a wonderful bunch of humans.

Get your headphones on and go for walk with @walkridegm.org.uk's excellent podcast Moving Up North, to learn more about what effective #ActiveTravel campaigning looks like🚲🚶🏾‍♀️🧑‍🦽 🛴 www.walkridegm.org.uk/2024/11/01/m...

Walk Ride GM was horrified by the recent news of a hate crime against Klaudia Mitura on the Ashton Canal. There is no excuse for violence, including this example of male violence against women. Incidents like this are made more likely by a widespread press and media bias against cyclists. 🧵

Meanwhile in Greater Manchester... (It does look like Oxford is going to be the British test case for what happens when a city goes all in for #ActiveTravel) @walkridegm.org.uk @cycloxoxford.bsky.social

We somehow missed this consultation for the #HeywoodTriangle - this looks like a really easy win diverting through traffic away from a school and park. Please write to your councillors if you’re near there to support. @walkridegm.org.uk

Fed up with pavement parking? We're supporting @livingstreets.bsky.social to show where pavements are used as car parks to the detriment of all who walk/wheel. Go & take photos (make sure you cover over reg numbers) & upload them to the Living Streets map: lnkd.in/ekEmPn3q Contribute by 22 Nov

Thanks for joining us for our social at the gorgeous Low Four Studio! We shared the latest successes and updates, and gave away some brand new badges and stickers. Keep your eyes peeled for more chances to get your hands on them... 👀

CYCLE ROUTE SAVED! 🎉🎉🎉 Following our campaign, Manchester Met and Unite have backed down on plans to block bike access on Cavendish Road, saving a major cycle route between Hulme and the city centre. Thanks to councillors Lee Glover, Lee-Ann Igbon and Annette Wright for all your support ❤️

At Walk Ride GM, we’re demanding safe active travel for women and girls in Greater Manchester. Research by Lime found that 100% of female survey respondents want improvements aimed at personal safety. Read more here: www.walkridegm.org.uk/2025/08/27/s...

HUGE win for Walk Ride GM! Manchester Met has agreed to revise the plans that would have blocked Cavendish Street to cyclists. A massive thanks to everyone who spoke up with us. Meet us at All Saints Park at 5pm next Thurs (4th Sep) to toast our success and take a celebratory photo. 🥂🚲

🚨 URGENT ASK to help us push micromobility forwards in Greater Manchester 🛴 Your local authority has until 21st October 2025 to apply for an e-scooter trial. We believe e-scooters are a crucial part of the shift away from cars, so PLEASE email your councillor and ask them to apply. 1/3

🏅 Gold standard bike parking at Stretford Public Hall 🔒 Sheffield Stands 🌦 Covered from the rain 👀 Highly visible 🌞 Solar motion sensor lighting ✅️ Close to the building entrance, a bus stop and a cycleway ♿️ Can be reached without navigating level change (a dropped kerb nearby would be even better!)

“What is an acceptable death toll that justifies getting to work two minutes faster?” #20sPlenty @walkridegm.org.uk

A friendly reminder to nobody in particular that cycle lanes are not compulsory. People can choose to ride in the road instead for all sorts of reasons, which might not be clear to other road users. "cyclists may exercise their judgement and are not obliged to use them." – Highway Code, Rule 61

Great to see the work done by our members changing the way the media cover illegal motorbike use

Media coverage is fuelling a backlash against e-bikes. But often, the stories aren't even about e-bikes at all. Last week, the BBC reported that an "e-bike" was involved in a serious incident. But it was actually a high-powered electric motorbike. Here's how it got changed...🧵

Thank goodness for that. You cannot have safe separated cycleways if they dump you back into the path of HGV at every bus stop.

Great news for active travel in Wigan! The works on St Helens Road are finished and looking really good. @wigancouncil.bsky.social we look forward to seeing lots more where this came from 🙏

NEW 🚨 After multiple Snake Pass Trespass rides, our main demand has been met by @derbyshirecc.bsky.social Average speed cameras are coming to Snake Pass A huge victory for our campaign and a safer future for all road cyclists in the Peaks.

What would safer streets mean to you? 🙋 Living Streets and The Bikeability Trust have outlined key policies that the Gov's upcoming Road Safety Strategy should adopt. Please write to your MP today, urging them to call on the Government to hear us. act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/174678/...

Good to see a segment on barriers to women cycling on North West Tonight, spoiled slightly by the TfGM rep talking about the very thing that’s a barrier - routing through poorly lit parks. This not good enough and @cyclinguk.bsky.social should be having words #MyRideOurRight @walkridegm.org.uk

Please sign if you can to help safeguard long distance walking and cycling leisure routes, which are important for both #ActiveTravel and domestic #Tourism

Last day to submit objections to this. Please respond!

Happy Cycle to Work Day! #Cyclescheme are celebrating 20 years of helping people get affordable access to bikes. How are things where you work – does your employer make cycle commuting an easy option, or are they still stuck in the dark ages?

It's hard to overstate the #PublicHealth benefits of walking, cycling and wheeling. We need more #ActiveTravel infrastructure, whether that's cycle lanes, #SchoolStreets (as announced today) or #ActiveNeighbourhoods @triciaayr.bsky.social @@elsieblundellmp.bsky.social @walkridegm.org.uk

As promised, my written evidence is now on the @cityinfinity.bsky.social website blog. It has also been acknowledged by Parliamentary support. I hope you understand why I have unusually disabled replies. cityinfinity.co.uk/2025/06/30/b...

If you follow us you'll already know about MMU and Unite Students' plans to ban cyclists from this important city cycle route. ⬇️ We've put together a detailed explanation and a template letter you can use to demand your right to cycle is upheld alongside safe, accessible pedestrian routes. ⬇️

It has never been easier for criminal drivers and drink drivers to get away with it due to illegal #GhostPlates but the penalties for using these are very small. Sign up to #CrushCrime's campaign to address this and make our roads safer for everyone #SaferStreets @walkridegm.org.uk

The driver killed him. Not a car. Not his parents. The driver.

An "eco drive-thru" is just a shop. Preferably with bike parking.

NEW 🚨 A document showing that @manmetuni.bsky.social are prevented from closing Cambridge Street to cyclists has been uncovered by Walk Ride GM

Could almost be Manchester Royal Infirmary (though AFAIK the rest of Greater Manchester’s hospitals are poorly served by #ActiveTravel infrastructure - why can’t they be like this?) @walkridegm.org.uk
