Isn't Manchester trying to be the first cycling city? I just wish more of the councils would provide maps/facilities etc for cycling.

Trafford are completely useless and the roads are in such a bad state of repair, every journey is a total bone shaker.

If we had proper cycle routes, there would be no need to stealth tax people with the congestion charge.

   Rujibabes;

maybe if you work at the top of a hill thats true; i manage to cycle in to work everyday and dont arrive too sweaty, especially if i take my time. A quick change of shirt and i am ready to go, awake and invigorated.

I would recomend most people to give it a go

   but by the time you get to work you feel so sweaty and tired that you want to immediately go back home and get another shower! Take the bus its easier
