Heels and Bicycles - a match made in heaven
Often, well nearly all the time, we get asked "How can you cycle in *those* heels?"
Well, we'll let you into a little secret...
Cycling in heels is easier and more comfortable than walking in them. Indeed! You push on the pedals with the ball of your foot, therefore the heel does not hinder cycling.
Walk 10 minutes in heels and your legs will be killing you, cycle in them and you'll arrive at your destination as fresh as a rose!

It's all about... Albert Square!
Now that I have discovered the perfect sunny bench in Albert Square, I have found that it's also a perfect place to spot many great cyclists.
This is what I captured sitting for just 10 minutes on a sunny Sunday.
Chilled cycling... why be in a rush on such gorgeous day uh?!
What a great junction view! No cars, just bikes.
Matching your top to your handle bars... must be cycle love.
Great cycle chic, if you ask me!

Sunshine
So after about 4 weeks a non-stop rain and autum-like weather, the sun has finally returned.
Unfortunately armed only with my camera phone, the quality may not be great, but still expresses a nice stream of bikes.

Graceful rider... badly cut off by... bus!
So, although there are good signs in Manchester of people cycling in everyday clothes, going from A to B... there's still little sign that respect on the road is no way near being achieved.
We just hope that she wasn't put off by cycling.
When will things change?
