What to see (and eat, drink and watch) at Bespoked Manchester

Bespoked Manchester runs from 28-30 June at Victoria Baths. Buy your tickets in advance to save on the door price and be sure to book for the rides or movie night too! We’ll be there so be sure to come and say hello amongst all the other things there will be to see and do…

Walks

There are a few races to join if you want to exercise your legs between the caresses of all the bikes. Choose between a cool 35km cafe route on Saturday and a full 70km Peaky Blinder on Sunday. Places are limited and registration is essential, which can be done via this link.

Bar and food

There is a dedicated bar, music and food vendor room with a selection of beers from Purity and Mash Gang served by the bar team from the late, great Look Mum No Hands! There will also be food from a selection of great Manchester food trucks and coffee and pastries from the Rapha store in Manchester.

Friday the 28thth June

  • 14.00 – 18.00 Opening of the exhibition
  • 18.00 – 22.00 Afterparty with pizza, drinks and DJ

Yes – if you buy a ticket for Friday and are still at the show at 6pm, you’ll be able to mingle with builders, industry folk and the like. It should be a fun time – like being in a great pub where there aren’t boring people talking about house prices or football. Just people with bikes going wild. Be there before 7pm when the doors close.

Hannah will be hosting the ‘in conversation with’ talks, so if you have any questions you’d particularly like to ask Meg Barker or Archie Atkinson, leave them in the comments!

Surely the only question for you is: “do I buy a single day ticket or come for the whole weekend?”

I came to Singletrack deciding that there must be more to life than dating. I like all bikes, but especially the unusual ones. More than bikes, I love what bikes do. I think they connect people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bicycles create communities; give freedom; brings joy; and improve fitness. They are environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others may discover the joy of bicycles.
