Love our Bike survey - Cycling on the wrong side of the tracks?

13 Mar 2015 - 11:37 by michelle.foster

Love Your Bike, the cycling advocacy campaign co-ordinated by Manchester Friends of the Earth, has launched a survey to gather the experiences of people who have cycled alongside, close to or across Metrolink tram tracks.

In December 2014, Love Your Bike again raised concerns regarding the designs of Metrolink tram routes at road junctions such as Southmoor Road in Wythenshawe.

In 2012, Sean Sutton (the British Cycling Head Coach at the time) described the new tram lines near to the Velodrome as ‘death traps’.

Football team wanted by Manchester Oxfam group

6 Mar 2015 - 10:20 by michelle.foster

A football team of 11 players committed to losing a match against a single player is wanted by Oxfam, despite your skills! Reason: your legs will be tied together with scarves.

The match will be used to make a short film to illustrate inequality, and how the huge majority of poor people in the UK and the world are disadvantaged in life by taxes, prices, low pay, for example, while the very few wealthy people get richer because of the power they wield.
