We at Simply Cycling have taken part in the Manchester Day Parade and other local festivals and parades every year for the last seven years. This year will be no different but we need help to design and build structures to fit on our bikes that reflect the theme of this years Parade - 'MAGIC!' We love being part of community events and being out on the streets with the bikes that have given us such enjoyment and independence.
What we'll deliver:
- Employ a community artist for five days
- Purchase materials to build structures to attach to the bikes
- Purchase materials to make costumes everyone can wear
Why it's a great idea:
Taking part in big community and city-wide events are a way of celebrating the achievement and success that we enjoy when cycling week in, week out. To be able to ride an adapted bike around the streets of our great city brings thrill and excitement to our participants. As well as being included on equal terms with everyone else taking part its great for those that are often on the margins of society.

We are a local charity that has been running for 13 years. We hold all ability cycling sessions in Wythenshawe Park Athletics Track four days every week – come rain or shine – as well as organising a ride out every Thursday on local trails and green routes. We have an average of 400 disabled people and their friends and family of all ages participating in physical activity through cycling every single week all year round.
Along side Wythenshawe Park we also run sessions in Boggart Hole Clough and Longford Park - so we are open seven days a week and everyone is always welcome.
