Seems the stick and carrot approach didn't work! Was sort of looking forward to seeing the volumes of cyclists increasing in Manchester as they did in London.
Motoring will continue to get more expensive, congestion charge or not. It's a shame the public transport system isn't going to benefit from extra funds for people that will no longer afford to drive. Perhaps there will be some private investment at a later date. Stagecoach can put on more busses to rip people off.
Cycling is becoming more popular here, pretty sure this will continue.
Quite happy if the plan to put a cycle lane down parkway doesn't go ahead, the wide left hand lane is perfect as it is.
The proposed changes would make very little positive difference to the way I travel as a bike rider, but may have helped lessen how much we're fucking over the environment. Looking forward to the economic collapse hopefully before the environmental one! (not really)
Ugh it's all doom and gloom for me today
