Please let your councillors know that you'd like a safe, regulated e-scooter hire - like all the best places in the world already have!

🚨 URGENT ASK to help us push micromobility forwards in Greater Manchester 🛴

Your local authority has until 21/10/25 to apply for an e-scooter trial. We believe e-scooters are a crucial part of the shift away from cars, so PLEASE email your councillor asking them to apply.

@WalkRideGM 💯 %

This would help embed good behaviour and use with designated parking zones and speed limited tech

We've launched a campaign to remove discriminatory barriers that prevent disabled people from accessing the cycling network across Greater Manchester

Hear from Sarah, an adapted cycle user, as she shares how these barriers impact her daily life

[Walk Ride GM @WalkRideGM]

We did it!

After decades of campaigning

Bikes will finally be allowed on trams in 2025

On 4 September, when the new term begins, @OldhamCouncil will become the first local authority in #GreaterManchester to use ANPR technology to keep children safe by reducing road danger near a school

👏 Well done to all involved in a big win for Oldham

Big news for the school run in Oldham 👀

[Walk Ride GM @WalkRideGM]

We can't accept road danger on travel to school routes

Our Pedestrian Manifesto demands would help to reduce this road danger

Let's work together to bring these to life & create better places to live. Get involved

The @BeeNetwork Streets for All standards are clear that "Everyone should feel safe, on all of our streets, whether it is during the day or after dark"

The principles are there, and now all @BeeNetwork schemes need to follow them, without excuses

The amount of times I’ve heard today: “No one objects to 20mph zones outside schools or hospitals, that’s just sensible, but…”

How do they think these people arrive at these places? Do they just magically appear, or might they also need to be safe on the journey there too?

[Walk Ride Oldham @WalkRideOldham]

What an improvement to the centre 👏 🙌

Now for improved walking wheeling & cycling additions to some of the routes to get people there 🤞

[Walk Ride GM @WalkRideGM]

Incredible things are happening in Oldham

We spent the day looking on how @OldhamCouncil are transforming the urban centre

[Walk Ride Stockport @WalkRideStocky]

"While three-quarters of traffic fatalities are men, fear of traffic danger affects women’s transport choice disproportionately"

The only equitable solution is for safe, comfortable, direct, protected cycle provision along key arterial routes

[Streets Ahead Podcast @podstreetsahead]

Coming tomorrow: Secretary of State for Transport @LouHaigh joins @laura_laker on Streets Ahead for all things active travel 🚲🚶‍♂️
