Greater Manchester
The Bee Network is a vision to make Greater Manchester an easier place for people to get around on foot or by bike.
Our aim is to make the region a nicer place to live, work, get on and grow old and to connect every neighbourhood and community, while helping people be less dependent on cars.
The proposal is a vision for Greater Manchester to become the very first city-region in the UK to have a fully joined-up cycling and walking network: the most comprehensive in Britain covering 1,800 miles.
You can ride for hundreds of miles in Greater Manchester on traffic-free cycle paths, or on very quiet roads. And lots of main roads now have dedicated cycle lanes to make your journey easier.
