Unseen City Ride with Brompton at Rapha Clubhouse Manchester, City Centre 9 September 2017 Entrance is free — Visit now

Our understanding of a city changes according to the means by which we move through it. One of the many cycle events taking place as part of Rapha Rides Manchester is Unseen City Ride – an invitation to discover the city anew, from the seat of your bike. Or any bike, for that matter. From 11am, a limited number of Brompton bicycles will be available to hire for a self-guided tour around Manchester’s lesser-known streets, following Brompton’s Unseen City map. Then at 6pm, Harry Hall Cycles will lead a guided group ride around the city, which anyone with a bike can join. The cycle will end back at the Rapha Manchester Clubhouse for drinks.

Other guided cycle rides taking place as part of Rapha Rides Manchester include: Sunrise Ride, Canal Ride, Brevet Ride, Group Riding Masterclass, Escape the City Ride & Yoga, Ride with Sir Brad and Yorkshire Hills with Alan Mellor.
