Liverpool - The 'capital' of cycling in the North West

Unconfirmed reports were received early this morning that Liverpool are planning to roll out a cycle hire scheme that would rival even that of Londons.

Whilst our researchers have tried to substantiate these reports, Liverpool City Councils website had no mention of this.

If true however, this would servely dent Manchesters proposed plans to become the 'capital of cycling' in Britain.

Is this a battle between these 2 great North West cities, or just a load of hot air?

  2. I suspect that it will be all one-way traffic at the Pier Head branch.

  3. What is that blue thing between Liverpool and Birkenhead? It can't possibly be a river because I have never seen a blue river down here in the 'brith place' of the industrial revolution

    1. They were whinging last night on the news that the High Speed rail link wouldn't connect up to them. Perhaps if they filled the river in it would be easier.

    2. Perhaps the Government was worried about making it too easy for 'Scousers' to get to London and campaign for better more jobs, better educational facilities etc. At least this way, they need to know a bit of Geography.
