UMBUG Events

Monthly Cycle Event

On the first Wednesday of the month, the Corridor partners (members of the Corridor Manchester Strategic Transport Group; UoM, MMU, RNCM, MSP and Central Manchester University Hospitals) host a breakfast event aimed at rewarding current cyclists and actively encouraging newcomers. All staff cyclists are welcome, whether they cycled in alone or with one of our 70+ volunteer buddies who are on hand to support new cyclists in their area. The event involves a free breakfast at a location on the Oxford Road Corridor, as well as updates on the latest news and a chance to meet fellow cyclists.

To find out more, see the Corridor Travel website.
