Manchester Science and Innovation Cycle Tour

This year Manchester is European City of Science, it is the city of innovation, a city of firsts.

Join ride leaders Emma Fox of Manchester Guided Tours and Ursula Harries, cycling instructor, on a fascinating guided cycle tour celebrating Manchester’s science and innovation heritage.  We will ride on a mix of road, cycle tracks and parks visiting sites associated with scientific discovery and engineering & medical innovation.

The tour will take three hours, starting from the Museum of Science and Industry and ending in Alexandra Park, where we can lock our bikes up and enjoy a well earned refreshment in the Tea Hive cafe.
