Around 100 riders gathered at 10am sharp to cover the road with people and pedal cycles for just 5 minutes.
There were two bike lifts for the cameras.
And a sociable post event coffee and chat.
TfGM will soon be going out to consultation with their plans for bikes and buses on Oxford Road - expected start date is Monday 13 May.
It seems that GMCA & TfGM have accepted the principle of "Dutch-style" routes, and we must hold out for good quality implementation of this. The recent Greater Manchester Cycling City Ambition Grant document on Oxford Road says that "Dutch-style full segregation of cycle routes will feature prominently along a 4 mile long flat thoroughfare" (page 18)
