Kidical Mass is such a powerful initiative; never fails to get smiles and support from the drivers and passersby we encounter. The people in this video are the future of Manchester - a cleaner, healthier, friendlier city.

I’ll vote for whoever promises these and isn’t literally evil 💧 Fix our water and sewage infrastructure, cap profits 🚲 Public transport back under public control, and vast expansion of active travel 🌳 End all subsidies and public investment in fossil fuels

Our streets are for everyone ❤️ We got out and about in #Salford with decision makers, stakeholders and our friends at Cycling UK, to highlight some of the issues faced by disabled cyclists.

As principal structural engineer for the restoration of Rochdale Borough Council Town Hall, I travelled from Manchester weekly for three years. Cycling to Rochdale was stressful & muddy; I'd have benefitted from smooth cycle tracks to town via Castleton Cllr Phil Burke #ApprovePhase2

This should be the norm on all residential roads. Aside from the obvious safety and wellbeing benefits of calming traffic, street trees reduce flood risk and reduce temperatures during heatwaves.
