Pump tracks and BMX tracks across the North West, from village playing fields and town parks to club race tracks, area by area from Greater Manchester to Cumbria.
About this guide
A pump track is a loop of rollers and berms (raised, banked corners) that you ride by pumping your body up and down rather than pedalling. Get the timing right and you can lap without a single pedal stroke. Most of the tracks in this guide are in public parks and recreation grounds and free to ride, and many welcome scooters, skateboards and balance bikes as well as bikes. Most pump tracks are asphalt, many by Clark and Kent Contractors or Velosolutions, so the cards name the surface only where it is dirt, hard-packed or mixed.
We have included BMX tracks too, because riders use both and the riding overlaps. Some are club race tracks with a start hill and gate, and many more are smaller BMX tracks in local parks. Each card says which it is, and where a track is run by a club or ridden in booked sessions.
Greater Manchester comes first, then Lancashire, which has the most tracks and is split into the east of the county and the Preston, Blackpool and West Lancashire side. Merseyside shares a section with Warrington and Halton, then come Cheshire and Cumbria. Heading east? See pump tracks in Yorkshire and the North East. Heading south? See pump tracks in the West Midlands. Heading into Wales? See pump tracks in Wales. Heading north? See pump tracks in Scotland. For what to ride, what to wear, track etiquette and the other regions, see our guide to pump tracks in the UK.
