The first is some driver awareness education around advance cycle boxes.

Whilst I remain skeptical about the effectiveness of such measures the general effect of making drivers aware of cycle infrastructure is probably a good thing.

The second think I came across was a smart, well designed little booklet advertising the Edinburgh Festival of Cycling.
The festival includes a really wide range of events covering more than two weeks.
It also has a really good web site.
It would be good to see something of this scale in Greater Manchester...
