Posting about urbanism and cycling in Manchester, UK and beyond. See my blog domcycling.com for more of this from the UK, Europe and especially the Netherlands. I take a lot of photos.

Platt Fields Bike Hub
On the Saturday just gone, I paid my first visit to the Platt Fields Bike Hub, to help out with fixing bikes as part of the Rolling Through Winter event. I don’t often go to Platt Fields, as I don’t live locally. The times I have been there in recent years, it has been when the bike hub has been shut, so I’ve not had chance to see what’s going on.
Normalising Cycling workshop
On 19 January, I joined a number of people at the Normalising Cycling workshop at the always pleasant Popup Bikes. Seriously, if you’ve not already been to Popup Bikes, and you like cycling and coffee, you should definitely stop by for a visit.
Impressions of cycling in York
This weekend we had a family visit to York, mainly for another trip to the rather good National Railway Museum, which the kids always enjoy. While I didn’t get chance to ride in York myself, I did notice a few things about cycling in the city.
Progress on the Wilmslow Road Cycleway – December 2015
While out on a family ride on the Fallowfield Loop, making the most of a rare day of sunshine this December, I had chance to have a look at the progress on the Wilmslow Road Cycleway alongside Platt Fields Park. Continue reading “Progress on the Wilmslow Road Cycleway – December 2015”

Autumn on the Fallowfield Loop
It’s been a while since I’ve been on the Fallowfield Loop. Not really sure why really, particularly as I love old, converted train lines. With the other half and kids away for the weekend, I had the opportunity to make the most of a rather pleasant autumn day, get on the bike and explore.

Brightening up some filtered permeability in Stretford
Round the corner from Old Trafford football stadium on Railway Road. There’s a little bit of filtered permeability that’s just become a little brighter, courtesy of rather wonderful Gorgeous Gorse Hill and local artist Caroline Daly. As you can see below, the bollards feature bikes and bike components, in-line with their purpose. Continue reading “Brightening up some filtered permeability in Stretford”
