Cycling the second cities

Quick guides to cycling in Birmingham (not Liverpool as I said yesterday) and Manchester.  It’s interesting to read the names of roads I use regularly (though I’m guessing with some because I am awful with street names until I’ve used them a few thousand times), though I’m sure Yew Tree and Lloyd Street are to the west of Oxford Road.

Birmingham has the edge when it comes to size, but I reckon otherwise Manchester has a fair claim to second city status.

So yeah, I know it all from Diogenes to Foucault

Start wearing purple wearing purple
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…

So yeah, ha

Start wearing purple wearing purple (da da da da da)
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…

I’ve known you since you were a twenty, and I was twenty,
and thought that some years from now
a purple little little lady will be perfect
for dirty old and useless clown…

So yeah, ha
