Overview

BUBR Manchester returns for its second year, following a strong and successful debut in the city. The ride celebrates Black culture, community, and cycling, bringing together hundreds of riders from across Greater Manchester and beyond for a day rooted in connection, pride, and collective joy. Starting from a central Manchester location and moving through some of the city’s most recognisable streets, the route reflects the energy, history, and strength of Manchester’s Black community. Open to riders of all abilities, BUBR Manchester is more than a cycle — it’s a shared experience and a visible statement of belonging. The day continues at the finish line with BUBR Fest, a free, family-friendly celebration where riders are joined by friends, family, and the wider community. With music, food, and space to come together, it’s a chance to celebrate the ride and spend time together — whether you’re riding or coming along to support.
