Manchester Bicycle Tag

Aw, this is making me really miss Manchester! Been away at university for too long.

Also: I had no idea that there is actually fixed gear riders in Manchester. Only ever seen one locked up near Afflecks.

A traffic free route through the south.

Floop you plebs.

You're assuming people actually use that piece of shit...

FFS. No one complained when I put it in the Bridgewater Canal. Is it not on your rounds?

You've rumbled the reason right there.

If I knew where it was I might venture out, although I don't know south (or any part of) Manchester too well. Don't think I could work out how to get to this floop without getting myself lost in its wilderness.

The only one I've got was on the floop as it goes past my house, maybe I'll venture out again.

FFS I have cycled the breadth of the goddamn country and you still haven't got this yet?!

im too lazy.

I'm considerably more lazy than him^^.

I've been very close to the bird one a few times this week, without realising.

Bingo! That roundabout is pretty much bang-on where the western turn of the Reg Harris velodrome/stadium used to be.
