Rainbow Riders

9 Rainbow Riders headed out to Lymm, including 4 riders joining us for the first time. We enjoyed an easy-going cruise out of the city along the Bridgewater canal before heading back to Manchester via some beautiful Cheshire lanes in the sunshine.

Thanks to everyone who came along and helped make it such a friendly and welcoming ride. We hope to see our new riders again soon!

We know Father’s Day isn’t a day everyone celebrates or enjoys, so if you’re looking for some good company and a bit of fun, join us for our Old School Sports Day this Sunday at Alexandra Park.

Expect classic games, friendly competition and plenty of laughs.

No bikes needed… just questionable athletic ability. 😅

🏅 12pm–4pm | Free to attend | Everyone welcome 🌈

Highlights from yesterday's big adventure around manchester and heaton park to watch the sun go down. Big thanks to these two beauties for bringing the party and picnic snacks.

That's right! We're shaking things up! With two rides for your cycling pleasure, this Wednesday evening June 17th!
Join Richard and the Rainbow Riders at Aviva studios for a 6pm start to a gentle off road 15km ride up to Heaton Park. Have a little break, then meet more people at 8pm to watch the sunset over the manchester skyline.
Come for one, or both.

Dress for the weather, bring a thermos, and enjoy.

We had an amazing time this past weekend at 's first for the cyclists of the LGBTQ+ community.

We're so proud to be able to be a part of the weekend of adventure friendship and community, meeting new people from all across the country, sharing the adventures of the open roads, the thrills of the trails, and the goofiness of being unashamedly ourselves.

There's never to much fun to be had, never to many smiles to be cracked, but there's always too few photographs to do our memories justice.

We’ve packed June full of LGBTQ+ cycle rides and socials across Greater Manchester, from chilled coffee rides and ice cream spins to longer adventures, sunset rides and community hangouts.

Whether you’re a regular rider, brand new to cycling, or just looking to meet more LGBTQ+ people in a relaxed and welcoming space, you’re invited.

No racing, no pressure, no need to “keep up”. Just good people, good vibes, and bikes. 💖
