Pathetic is mild for what I actually think.<br /><br />Lack of signposting, routes squashed between bollards and gardens, high curbs but by far the worst is how the section at Exchange Quay. Allowing developers to gate and close a path at weekends and evenings when they feel like it is unforgivable and makes all the investment in the path along the river a farce. <br /><br />Don't get me started on the low quality of architecture and missed opportunities in what could have been a fantastic place...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874854615667361975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-39696347482319331012011-02-13T12:48:35.333+00:002011-02-13T12:48:35.333+00:00So, does the bylaw make this ride illegal then?

The GM cycle maps omitted the bridge along with many others over the Irwell & Ship Canal until I moaned and in the 2nd edition they were included with a dismount and walk across caveat which is progress I suppose. Even the Lowry bridge should not be cycled over despite most council photos of the bridge have a cyclist on it. Just got to keep on moaning at council cycle forums though Irwell city park spans 3 councils.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-33369505829993745612011-02-07T22:05:44.741+00:002011-02-07T22:05:44.741+00:00Thanks, I will have to investigate further, as thi...Thanks, I will have to investigate further, as this will be my route to work soon. Most of the area looks piss poor, so if I can document the current state of all the alternatives then there is half a chance of helping a few more cycle to work. <br /><br />However, there is one person who probably doesn't give a shit about the crap cycling provision... <br /><br />http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1407369_row_over_salford_bbc_boss_living_in_kentucky_usaMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675611922168618055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5245014510735955366.post-22908187449364057182011-02-07T00:10:57.442+00:002011-02-07T00:10:57.442+00:00It is (partly) an official traffic-free route, lin...It is (partly) an official traffic-free route, linking to Route 55, which runs alongside Trafford Wharf Road.<br /><br />To continue into the city centre, there are two options:<br /><br />A) Continue past Sam Platts' pub. Ascend the stairs to Trafford Road Bridge. Cross Bridge. Descend staircase otherside, to join the Riverside Walk along the north bank. However, this route is close during darkness.<br /><br />B) Instead of ascending staircase, follow the unbuilt Metrolink Trafford Park line trackbed, which takes you to Pomona tram stop. From there take the traffic-free Pomona Strand to where it crosses the Bridgewater Canal, descend via steps.charleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752468366669120136noreply@blogger.com
