"Manchester Cycling Survey

Transport for Greater Manchester is bidding for government funding to improve cycling and walking facilities across Greater Manchester.

To assist us in making this bid, we would like to ask for your help by completing this short survey about cycle parking facilities in the city centre and barriers to cycling around Manchester.

Your responses will help us to establish the extent of use of current cycle facilities, which facilities require improvement and where additional facilities may be required to improve cycling in Manchester initially, and then across Greater Manchester.

Please note that all responses will be anonymous.

Contact details are being requested to help us with future research, and will not be used in conjunction with responses to this survey.  If you have any questions about this survey, please feel free to contact Ian Davies at Ian.Davies@TfGM.com or by telephone; 0161 2441245.

Thank you for your help."

End of message.  

Editors note: the survey will be online till 15th July....

Update 4th July 2011: The TfGM survey is now closed.


There was a great response to the TfGM survey about cycle parking facilities in the city centre and barriers to cycling around Manchester with 500+ completed surveys.


Also, a fair few people responded asking "what about my area" !   In the light of these responses, it is rumoured that TfGM will be carrying out a GM-wide survey in the not-too-distant future. Meanwhile, a overview of the Manchester City Centre survey results will shortly be available via the survey website.
