About the 2006 Ride
We will assemble at The Basement, 24 Lever Street (off Piccadilly Gardens). We'll be indoors from 6pm to 7pm. We'll be showing films (including last year's ride), and provide a safe, camera-free space to do bodypainting/costuming. At 7pm we'll hit the streets of Manchester on our beautiful bikes. The ride will take about an hour most likely.
Manchester prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will be using the London photography policy unless posted otherwise.
How to find the basement? Plug in the postcode M1 1DW into mapping websites (eg- Here's how to find it with Multimap).
