The Love Your Bike campaign is based in Greater 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. Sign up form to join to the LYB mailing list.
