A chart showing southbound cycle counts on the Oxford Road Cycleway for Easter weekends from 2017 to 2026. The year with the highest combined count is 2024 (3980 recorded trips).

Dates range from 29 March to 22 April, so I'm not drawing conclusions from this chart alone. However, yesterday was the highest ever count for Easter Monday.

(We also had two days with the same count!)

March 2026 on the Oxford Road Cycleway:

- Counters are fixed and all data recovered!
- Down 11% on March 2025
- Fourth month in a row of negative growth.

Has year-on-year growth finally ended? Is this due to cannibalisation from the Chorlton/Deansgate route? Stay tuned for some of the answers.

A cycle 'totem' displaying the number of cyclists passing it, and a running total for the year. The photo hasn't correctly captured the figure, but it was displaying '1398'.

I was on Oxford Road yesterday, and did a 15-min manual count in each direction.

Northbound, mostly cycleway use, 100% detected correctly (if you ignore an e-scooter).

Southbound, 89.6% detected (both cycleway and carriageway). Two cyclists observed leaving the MRI site south of the counter.
