This is one of six ‘Cycleways’ in Greater Manchester: new routes that give cyclists more space on traffic-free paths, quiet roads, and special lanes separated from the traffic.
For most of this route between Didsbury and Rusholme, you’ll be in a dedicated cycle lane, separated from the traffic by special new kerbs. Passing through Withington, Fallowfield and Rusholme, there are special lanes to get you round bus stops and parked cars. Traffic signals are timed to give cyclists a head start from junctions too. The route will go all the way in to Manchester city centre when the new Oxford Road section opens in winter 2016/17. At the Didsbury end, pick up the Mersey Valley and Stockport cycleway all the way to Stockport.
