Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 27/09/2026The running continues with my first 15k yesterday. 3/4 of the way to a half marathon now 🤔 1100
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 27/09/2026Been a while since I’ve been along the Mersey river path to Stockport, so I was glad to see a few of the A frame barriers have been replaced with something much more accessible. 1145
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 24/09/2026One for Jim. Though he won’t be there obviously, as it’s not Monaco. 161
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 22/09/2026Briefly passed the CyanLines popup on Nicholas St in Manchester at lunch today. Good to see things like this happening, in addition to the work done on Deansgate. Shame it’s just for two days though. Let’s make it 6 months, then permanent. 041
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 15/09/2026Trafford Rd, Salford. The usual lack of thought for people cycling. No safe alternative provided, not even a way to get back to the cycle path from the main carriageway after the obstruction. No idea how long this is going to be here for, but it looks like a while. 194
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 14/09/2026Every new football season, Trafford Council tell us about how they’re cracking down on illegal, antisocial and dangerous match-day parking. But then every match, the streets look like this. 4187
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 10/09/2026Seems like every time I go to London, there’s more and more people cycling! 1116616
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 04/09/2026That really was quick! Trees, planters and cycle parking now in place on Deansgate. This is such a big improvement, more of this please! 2457
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 03/09/2026Well that was quick! Pop-up trees, planting and cycle parking going in on Deansgate 0122
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 02/09/2026Great to see this end of Deansgate getting some much needed greenery as well as finally some cycle parking. 8 spaces isn’t a lot though. I suspect once people know they’re there, they will be regularly full. cyanlines.com/treesondeans... 292
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 22/08/2026Ride over to Chorlton Water Park for lunch at the Meeting Place Café - Tibetan Kitchen, then off to do some shopping in Chorlton 040
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 22/08/2026Back from a week and half trip to Lisbon. A little different to our usual Netherlands trips, especially the weather and hills! There was also much less cycling than usual, but we did manage a bit while we were there, on e-bikes thankfully. 1140
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 22/08/2026Parkrun number 10 done! 🥳 Reasonable time, given I’ve had two weeks off while I was away (more on that soon) and had way too much to eat and drink 0100
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 30/07/2026Early start to vote in the GM mayoral election. A vote for a greener Manchester, safer streets and more investment in active travel. #bikesatpollingstations #manchester #gmmayoralelection 0423

Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 11/07/2026Back for my 6th #parkrun after a few weeks away. Absolute scorcher, surprised I managed a reasonable time 🥵 Big queue of people getting selfies with Dame Kelly Holmes! 2140
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 06/07/2026My first 10k🥳🎉 Was surprisingly alright, even with the heat. Made a change running round Sale Water Park and not the quays! 150

Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 21/06/2026Evening ride to Carrington Moss. Usually my summer regular, but it’s been a while since I’ve been over. So muggy, but at least it didn’t rain! 070
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 21/06/2026Back at @grubmcr.bsky.social again today for Father’s Day lunch. Really pleased we have this in Stretford now! 010
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 21/06/2026Trying out the fantastic new @grubmcr.bsky.social Stretford yesterday. Great atmosphere down there, definitely a worthy replacement for the Foodhall! 021
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 17/06/2026Great to see Grub Stretford open! 🥳 No ticket for tonight, so just had a nosy through the door, hopefully get down at the weekend, when it opens properly. Great to see more great things coming to the new town centre! 010
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 16/06/2026It’s quite pleasant having John Dalton Street closed. Should be permanent. 020
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 15/06/2026My second 8k, running to the quays and back. No PB, but after a bad night’s sleep, long day and humidity, I was just glad to get round. 9k next week, onwards to 10k! 180
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 13/06/20265th #parkrun today and another PB! I’m now 4 minutes quicker than my first one 🥳 2150
Reposted by Dom CyclingDe Filmende Fietser @filmendefietser.eurosky.social · 10/06/2026A city may have the best cycling infrastructure, but without bicycle parking, it still falls short. Safe, dry, accessible, free, and user-friendly parking options that connect both to the cycling- and public transport networks are essential to encourage people to choose to cycle. 211218

Reposted by Dom CyclingBicycleDutch @bicycledutch.bsky.social · 02/06/2026The nearest supermarket is 110 metres from my home. The railway station is 750 metres away. My bicycle in Utrecht lives in the world's largest bicycle parking garage. This week's post and video explain how I've managed to live most of my life without owning a car.bicycledutch.wordpress.comCan you live without a car?When you live in a very car-dependent society, it might be hard to imagine, but you can live without owning a car. I’ve done so for almost my entire life. I did learn to drive, back in 1984, but I only ever owned a car briefly—when I was just turning 20. I had it for four months, from 2 August 1985 until 15 December 1985. 614127
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 03/06/2026How much better the parade on Barton Rd, Stretford is looking now. The installation of bollards, planters and cycle stands makes it somewhere you want to linger, rather than park your car. Shame it took this to stop people parking here. 0151
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 02/06/2026Fantastic seeing how much has been done since we were there in 2023. Reckon we're due another visit! 020

Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 19/05/2026What was interesting yesterday on my commute to Birchwood was the number of school kids walking or cycling across Irlam Locks. Makes all the more sense why Wellacre Academy has such high numbers of kids cycling, given how much slower driving/public transport would be for those over the other side. 1100
Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 19/05/2026Outside the Co-op Bank on S King St. We should definitely have more of these anchors where spaces is limited (caveat, assuming they can’t be easily removed). 160

Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 18/05/2026Not the usual commute today, over to Birchwood instead. Making use of as many bits of cycling infrastructure and quiets routes as possible, it was a fairly leisurely one hour ride. Could be even better with a few upgrades along the way. 170

Dom Cycling @domcycling.com · 17/05/2026First time riding in Chester today. Headed out along the Millennium Greenway into Wales, then back along the River Dee. Lovely route, I was reminded of Utrecht coming back along the river, which is definitely a complement! 2153
