    A bloke from the council would come round to your house and give you a staffordshire bull terrier.
    FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
    CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
    Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

    Hope they spend it on a way to get over the water that doesn't involved Merseyrail or a ferry!

    £20 million isn't even one mile of motorway.

    The london cycle superhighways (that seem to mostly be blue paint) cost £2 million per mile.

    £20 million ain't a lot :wink:
    MTB/CX

    I imagine the money is in the consultancy work to tell someone to buy the blue paint. :lol:

    And in the health and safety considerations of applying it, and environmental studies regarding the impact of cleaning brushes afterward....

    South Liverpool again - its an effing joke.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Obviously only one half of the city will be blue, the rest will be red. :wink:
