Manchester's Cycle Groups

Warning, this is work in progress...



I am trying to map out how many cycle groupings there are in Manchester. Looks like well over 50 so far, though most need checking, and some are probably wrongly classified

Some of the groups like UMBUG are very large with over 1,000 members on their email list and Critical Mass with over 800 followers, whilst others like The Spokes are quite small, but very active, and some may be defunct.

The web links are sometimes the group web site or a Facebook page and sometimes a link to evidence of the group's existence as is the case with several BUGS.
