Manchester city centre really segregated cycle lanes. I know we've not got the budget of London but its a step in the right direction.
I understand that current cyclists may feel safe on the road but these are needed to encourage people who current think it's too risky.
If Manchester's really genuine about changing how people get around the city, they should reduce the quantity of city centre parking for every park & ride built.
I only made the mistake of driving into the centre of Oxford once when I lived in Witney, realised there was insufficient parking drove back out and used the Park & Ride. I then cycled or used a P&R every time I visited Oxford for the years I lived there.
Less private cars would benefit cyclists, pedestrians, emergency services, taxi's, buses and the metro.
