Heaton Road, with its protected cycle lanes, used to illustrate Heaton's entry in this list from Time Out. Several other entries are illustrated with images of pedestrian streets and cycle lanes too. Perhaps a focus on people first neighbourhoods is what people like. www.timeout.com/uk/coolest-n...

Beeston is great in many ways (I'm a councillor in a neighbouring award) and pedestrianised High Road (though bikes are banned) but the cycle lane provision: not so much.

We’re not surprised - Heaton Road is lovely. The shop / restaurant offer has noticeably improved since the bike lane went in.
