The Love Your Bike campaign is based in Manchester. We aim to promote cycling and to help make it an attractive, accessible and fun way to get around. Co-ordinated by Manchester Friends of the Earth, we aim to work closely with other like-minded organisations and promote their activities.
See the results of the survey of experiences of sharing the roads of Greater Manchester with buses.
