Great Manchester Cycle
Great Manchester Cycling

The UK's biggest timed cycling event. A celebration through Manchester on closed roads. www.greatcycle.org

The Daily Great Manchester Cycle took place on Bank Holiday Monday 4 June 2012.

The multi-distance event was the first mass participation urban bike ride taking place on completely closed roads in an otherwise bustling city centre, including a stretch of Manchester’s busiest motorway – the iconic Mancunian way.

Starting and finishing at Eastlands, the course went through the districts of Manchester, Trafford and Salford. The urban terrain provided access to roads normally strictly off limits to cyclists, giving riders a new perspective on the iconic buildings and landscapes of Greater Manchester. Read More...
