Lights Up: Disco On Wheels After Party
9 November 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
For the second year running, Bee Pedal Ready and Station South are joining bike forces to bring glowing wheeling women to the dark streets and parks of Manchester – Lights Up, encore!
Join the bike ride Saturday 9 November. The main ‘bike disco’ ride will weave across the city as a pack before heading south, towards and through 3 different parks before wheeling our way over to the astounding Victoria Baths for brews, hot food and a bike party!
Please note the bike rides take place over a number of routes and finish at Victoria Baths for a post-ride party. Please check where you wish to start your ride from via the event page here.
Bringing awareness to the number of women that cycle falls significantly through the darker and winter months, through various barriers. We want to change this.
We are offering ‘feeder rides’ to and from the city, where we’ll ride in as a group to meet a plethora of amazing women of all ages at All Saint’s Park – this will form our ‘main ride’.
More info on the bike ride…
- To ensure illuminations across the ride, we have a couple of pannier bags full of wheel lights – free to you – for women joining feeder rides AND for the first 50 to arrive at the main ride.
- All bikes are welcome! The ride is accessible to all, so bring your cargo bikes, tri-shaws, adapted bikes, and even a Penny Farthing if you have one!
- Any questions or if you would like to organise a feeder ride of your own – please drop Anna + Bee a line : rides4womenmcr@gmail.com
Are you a Ride Leader, experienced cyclist or bike mechanic + would like to help marshall the main ride? We would L O V E to hear from you!
