This is a nice blog about a workshop on cycling, promoted by the Dutch that took place in Manchester.  The writer is optimistic that something positive may come from this.  Unfortunately, I believe the writer is naive and does not understand Manchester City Council and especially the Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM).  The TfGM only employs motorists, so does not understand the needs of Public Transport users or cycles, their real priority is the motorist, like themselves.
