Bike ride to show unity and respect for Manchester victims

    Around 100 cyclists are expected to take part in a ‘unity and respect’ bike ride to Manchester later this month.

    The ride, which takes place on 29 July 2017, has been organised to show support for the victims of the Manchester bomb attack.

    The ride has been organised by Rifaqat Ali, Bradford Community Co-ordinator, in partnership with Shazia Awan, Manchester Community Co-ordinator. It is in aid of the ‘We Love Manchester Emergency Fund’.

    The Lord Mayor of Bradford will see the cyclists and support vehicles depart from City Park, Bradford at 9am. The cyclists will then go through Halifax, Todmorden and Rochdale before arriving in Manchester at approximately 4.30pm.

    Cyclists will be greeted in Manchester by Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, who will receive a letter of civic greetings and a small gift on behalf of the Lord Mayor of Bradford.
