Today is Manchester's bike to work day as part of national cycle week.

The weather forecast was for heavy rain; but I couldn't let the side down could I?

So I put my shorts and t-shirt on and put a change of clothes in my rucksack and set off. I got to the station OK and then it started drizzling when I arrived in Manchester. Undetered, I cycled to the meeting point for 'Bike to work day' and claimed my free high-viz vest - good for "short-sighted" motorists!

I was too late for breakfast; but I doubt it was vegan anyway :( It was good fun and a happy reminder that there are lots of people cycling to work, helping their health, the environment and people who need to use their cars.
