Manchester Cyclists: Cycling on the A56 / A556 / A50 between Altrincham & Knutsford?

[Origamist]

Old/new green steel 3-speed road bike with a green Caradice bag on the back, usually sporting a green or blue top and a substantial beard as I haven't yet found a posh barbers in the area.

Time varies. Anything between half seven and half ten in the morning, and half five and half nine at night! Stupid deadlines.

When are you lot about?

I have seen a chap with a russet coloured beard on that route recently, but I'll look out for a Brian Blessed character on a hub geared bicycle.

Nah set of clippers when it gets a bit long.

I do have quite a colourful beard, containing hints of amber, burgundy, mahogany and grey. What kind of bike were they riding?

I prefer to go to Tony&Guy's in Manchester once a week - a bargain at £69 for the Art Director cut (this does include a nasal and ear trim though). Hair like mine needs a lot of attention as you can imagine.

Yes you're right. Got mixed up.

50mph dual carriageway? How about a 70mph whilst cycling downhill at 40mph?

I noticed the solid white "Fly-line" on the left of this road. Is it a practical proposition to use that sort of thing as an impromptu cycle lane on roads like this, or is it too narrow/covered in sharp debris?

Too narrow. I wouldnt even want to use that on a normal road.

I don't have any problems with driving in traffic, but that video put the wind up me a bit. Well quite a lot actually

My slightly extended time there has now ended and I just realised I never encountered any of you as far as I'm aware

Guessing you are all early birds and my general morning commute being between 8-10am was out of your ranges?
