On Tuesday 20 November the 4th Love Cycling Go Dutch conference was held in Manchester. About 120 cycling and traffic specialists from the northwest of England participated: local politicians, officers in the field of traffic, environment and health, academics, consultants and campaigners. The day before the conference, Monday 19th November, there was a ThinkBike workshop in which 25 local traffic professionals worked together with Dutch cycling planners on two local cases: the bicycle facilities on Chester road and the bicycle route through Wilmslow road. The central question was how the Dutch way of bicycle/inclusive planning can be used in these actual Manchester situations to improve cycling in Manchester.
