> 3) Freewheeling - free adult cycle training for people who live (or work) in Manchester
> 
> We all probably know people who would love to cycle in Manchester but do not feel they have the experience or confidence to cycle on the roads.  Well the good news is that after a proposal and lobbying from Love Your Bike, Manchester City Council has agreed funding for an adult cycle training project.
