Taking Our Parking Plaices

I know not everyone likes advertising bikes, but I'm usually a fan. Nicely done advertising bikes, like the ones I saw in Bath, add to the feeling of a cycling culture in the city.

However, the ad-bikes in the centre of Manchester have gone rapidly downhill over the past few months. There are at least 5 of these crudely made advertising bikes promoting a chippy.

There are 4 of them cluttering up bike stands in Cross Street, in various states.









And another one in Market street.



All a bit rubbish really, especially as these are heavilly used bike racks.

There are also some really crappy bike trailers, but I'll leave those for another post.
