The council have now opened this route. Thank you to those in the council and @mikecookson.bsky.social for getting this fixed. The signs are still in place but can be ignored.
Let us know if you see issues like this wherever you cycle. It can be fixed!

Still no update on this unfortunately. Some Cyclists dismount signs have been quickly put up.

Spotted two people carrying bikes on their backs while cycling yesterday. I recently carried a couple of side tables home on my bike.
Have you carried anything weird and wonderful while cycling recently?

First time on a new @my-metro.bsky.social - very exciting moment. Thank you to everyone who helped ensure there is space for my bike. Most people will never know the work that went into making this happen.

Did you know Newcastle has over 3000 cycle parking spaces in the city centre. These have all now been added to open street maps and are accessible with more detail via a seperate map on our website.
Where would you like to see more cycle parking in Newcastle?
