Advice on bike parking in Manchester

[TangibleSolid]

Hi,
I got to go to manchester centre next week and fancy going on the bike. I need to be on or near Portland Street, is there anywhere to park near thats reasonably safe. I will be taking disc lock and heavy chain but are there any areas I should avoid?
Thanks

Contact Fred Tolley,the local BMF rep,who has instigated a scheme for safe bike parking in that area.
You`ll likely get done for parking elsewhere,now.
If you`re not a member,ask for a membership form too.

If you've not already been, some of the NCP's will take bikes, either at reduced rate or free. I parked in the one under Piccadilly Gardens hotel (rear of Piccadilly Gardens) last year - think it cost me about £3, and the same for the NCP at G-Mex, where they even let me park outside their office so they could keep an eye on the bike while I wasn't there.

Don't know what it's like but it might help!

I tend to just be a cheeky bugger and hope for the best! So far, so good, but not the safest policy!

Thanks for all the advice. Going Tomorrow so I guess I'll find out how good (or bad) it is.
Thanks again
