As an added bonus, an Authentic City Church. I'm fairly sure Manchester is an authentic city, so maybe there's an inauthentic church nearby.

The Pont des Arts was wonderful until it became a tourist "thing to do". It's real meaning got lost in a selfie opportunity or twats trying to get sex from gullible partners.
Now those are dorky pants.
Paris municipality removes them periodically on the Pont des Arts (so the next batch of twats can operate).

https://road.cc/content/news/cyclist-de ... ear-272987Cyclist deaths double during lockdown – at twice the average for the time of year
Cyclist fatalities since the UK lockdown began on 23 March are running at more than double the average for the time of year, road.cc can reveal, with 14 cyclists in Great Britain and one in Northern Ireland losing their lives in road traffic incidents.
...
Given that the roads are much quieter than usual, with traffic reverting to levels not seen since the 1950s, the spike in cyclist deaths does seem counter-intuitive.
However, a number of road traffic policing units across the country have highlighted issues such as an increase in speeding as some motorists take the opportunity of empty roads to ignore speed limits, as well as suggestions that drivers more likely to pose a risk to others are still out there while more law-abiding motorists remain at home.
In other words, there might be fewer drivers out there, but there is now a greater proportion of the ones who cause the most harm.
That's sort of true, but it depends. It's not true everywhere. But I would say if you cycle, you are indeed at greater risk now. Based on my 60+ hours a week, out and about at all hours, over all kinds of roads and highways.Witness wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 12:40 amhttps://road.cc/content/news/cyclist-de ... ear-272987Cyclist deaths double during lockdown – at twice the average for the time of year

Also cyclists are going through stop lights more as they assume the roads are clear. I consider that an own goal.Witness wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 12:40 amhttps://road.cc/content/news/cyclist-de ... ear-272987Cyclist deaths double during lockdown – at twice the average for the time of year

Pisses me off when I see that: they give the rest of us a bad name and it's something I never do. That, and cyclists out at night without lights. Why put yourself and others at risk for the sake of a £3 pair of clip-on LED lights? If you can afford a bike, you can afford some lights for it.
An NBL par excellence.
At my age, all I ask for are four limbs and a pulse.
