Rode the Floop from Audenshaw out to the Fallowfield Sainsbury's and back this morning.
Quite disappointingly routine! I wasn't threatened, robbed, intimidated or challenged in any way, in fact all the interactions I had with other users were very civil and polite exchanges. I also failed to encounter any mountains of rotting refuse or gangs of undesirable youths. It was a pleasant and efficient way to navigate across South Manchester in the morning rush hour, certainly much better than the alternative which was to take the car and risk sitting in queues for longer than the 40 minutes the bike journey took.
