Cruiser in Manchester

Thanks to Broxrider for sharing this! A bit of laid back American cruiser on the street of Manchester (I wonder if the bike is from RideLow?)

Baby Steps

I think one of the best indicators of a cycling culture is parents cycling with children. In Manchester, as much of the UK, this is a rare sight. Seeing children being carried by parents with cargo bikes is an even better indicator of a healthy bike culture, and consequently an even more rare sight in the UK. I was therefore pleased to see what looked like a mother and child riding down Oxford Road with a Christiania cargo trike. OK, so if we had a booming bicycle culture I probably wouldn't have even batted an eyelid at the sight of this, but still, baby steps....

Sure signs of spring!

Although Manchester rain has returned, the sunshine of last week brought out the first signs of spring in our cycling community too.
