what a pathetic childish comment, steve. In case you hadn't noticed, Manchester's LABOUR council has launched a "love your bike" initiative.
John, as local MP, has taken the trouble to speak out in favour of bikes.
I would assume that he would get applauded for that, as he deserves.. I'd also assume that the local Labour MPs would do the same, but I suppose that would be too much trouble.
Manchester has the highest number of students in Europe. You'd expect it to be a bike friendly city.
So support the man when he takes an initiative in support of Manchester, stop spewing out puerile claptrap like that just because he's a lib dem.
