• On, sorry. Mainly in a getting about sense rather than a "road cycling" sense. Like what's traffic like, what are cycling provisions like, bike security, attitude of drivers etc.

    I mean, my wife will be cycling (some days) to Bury from Prestwich (or similar) and looking at maps you can do that on or off road or mixed. I've no idea what I'll be doing for work - probably freelancing so working from home - but I'd like to get out and explore the area. I'll obviously cycle into town as needs be.

    Off I'm less concerned about because I hear there's good trails nearby. Not that I have time to do it.

  • Strava heatmap might be useful for this.

    I'd usually try to avoid the A56 (and also A58). Routes via Unsworth (Oak Lane, Mersey Drive, Hollins Lane) might work, but Croft Lane when you get to Hollins is a bit of a rat run since it leads to the M66.
