Manchester...It's Your Move!
Get walking, wheeling or cycling in Manchester
Manchester is the original modern city. Music, football, culture, shopping food, we’ve got it all on our doorstep. So many neighbourhoods with so much character.
Walking, cycling and wheeling is for everyone. And it’s quicker, cheaper and easier than you might think.
Try out new cycling and walking routes
We’re building the UK's largest active travel network.
1,800 miles of safe, traffic-free cycling and walking routes. More than 2,400 new, safer road crossings. All linking up to public transport so you can get even further.
Get planning!
It’s time to plan your route. You can leave the hard work to our journey planner.
It’ll work out the best walking, wheeling or cycling route for you.
And link you up with public transport if you want to go further.
Hire a Starling Bank Bike
No bike? No problem. There’s plenty of Starling Bank Bikes across Manchester, Trafford and Salford.
Cycle to the shops, cycle to campus, cycle to your friend’s house. Or… just cycle for fun.
It’s a cheap, easy way to get around, and get back into the saddle.
Learn to ride or fix your bike
Whatever you’re looking to learn, we’ve got a course to fit.
Build your confidence. Learn for the first time. Ride together as a family. Mend a puncture or fix your brakes. You don’t even need to own a bike to get started.
