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.

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”
Well, there was an ominous sky as we set off for Manchester, collecting friends on the way. When we reached Deansgate, the sky began to open up for what would become a rather damp ride. Continue reading “Manchester #space4cycling – October 2015”

It’s two years since I last did the Sky Ride. Last year we were away in The Netherlands having an altogether more pleasant bike experience. There were fourteen of us heading there this year, including five kids, so we decided to do our own Critical Mass. Safety in the numbers and all that.
I wasn’t able to make July’s Critical Mass as I was mid-air on the way back from India, after spending a week there. Through my work, I’m lucky enough to get to spend time with my colleagues based at the Technopark in Trivandrum.
I use the Wilmslow Road/Manchester Road stretch of the Stockport Cycleway on my commute, so I looked with interest when I saw the proposals.
