Manchester's most famous cyclist?

There are a few riders who could fit the bill of Manchester's most famous cyclist: Darryl Webster is a name which springs to my mind, there's a really interesting interview with him here - apparently he lives in Wales now.
Although Chris Boardman rode for Manchester Wheelers, he's from Wirral so doesn't count.
Neither do any of the 'Manchester based' British Cycling team which the MEN is fond of claiming as their own.
There are names of which I know very little such as: Cyril Cartwright and Reg Harris.
But, above all of these is one rider whose legendary status has led him to becoming synonymous with the two-wheeled machine we love. A man whose very identity is built around The Bike.
A man, so ingrained in the culture of the city that his photograph currently takes pride of place on the hoardings around the Central Library.

Matt The Bike: the legend

I give you Matt 'The bike'. Matt is the original cycle courier in the city centre and can often be found having a soft drink in The Britons between jobs.  A very familiar face around the city who is now welcoming thousands of visitors as they disembark the tram at St Peter's Square.
If you see him, say hello!
