No matter where you go, Manchester has some amazing rides from Cheshire in the south, Buxton to peaks in the east, Lancashire in the North West and into Yorkshire in the North East, its brilliant.
I think it is my favourie of all great rapha ads / films. I cannot really find any other brand-image-video that I come back to watch over and again from time to time (maybe VW darth vader ad). The cinematics, stories and the people make so much difference. Great vid. Great gear. But most of all - the best to the heroes of the piece and the best for Manchester.
Manchester centre is not big enough to cycle 'in'. You cycle to and from basically. So it's right and accurate to show that as Mancunian cyclists we cycle in the rural environs of Gtr Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire. I enjoyed this video. Also enjoyed the Rapha Rides Manchester with Alan. Cracking day.
Given that the Tokyo video had the rider crawling through backstreets, I have to disagree with your size assessment. Adding places like the Northern Quarter, Chinatown, Oxford Road onto Wilmslow Road, Deansgate/Castlefield, Ancoats, East Manchester Loop, Fallowfield Loop - even The Quays (technically Salford I know, but since you're advocating Lancs/Cheshire/Derbyshire ;-) ) would've provided a better balance. Many missed opportunities. I'm sure others have suggestions. Come back Rapha - let's film another!
I know Rapha apparel is compulsory if you live in Chorlton, but I'm pretty sure if you live in other parts of Manchester you're allowed to wear other manufacturers. Some cyclists even wear stuff from Aldi despite being sneered at by bearded hipsters on fixed geared bikes. They're the real heroes.
It's definitely cycle-friendlier than it was in the 90s and 00s. More infrastructure popping up all the time. Let's hope the Oxford Road plan is a prototype that spreads its way across the city!

Rapha Rides .. Outskirts Manchester
lbmcr Haha! So true!

Yup, have to agree with others, lots of urban spaces that could've been explored in this vid and you missed out, Rapha
Bet that old dude has some stories!
And, from the looks of it, a Marshall amp, ROCK N’ ROLL!
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for...
The worst cycling city in the UK. No cycle lanes, crazy drivers, endless suburbs. Live in Manchester ride in Cheshire or the Peak District.
It's definitely cycle-friendlier than it was in the 90s and 00s. More infrastructure popping up all the time. Let's hope the Oxford Road plan is a prototype that spreads its way across the city!
Hardly any of that was in Manchester!!!! haha
3:53 - Can anyone give me the brand / model of that coffee machine please?
La marzocco
Next one birmingham city please.
1:21 perfectly timed shot
This could have been brilliant but barely showed any of manchester! Worst rapha rides to date
First?
The only thing being ridden at Rapha is you.
Tru dat.
The worst Rapha film yet I'm afraid. Misses real Mancunians and the spirit of the city. Pity
Crying about who is or isn't a 'real Mancunian' on TH-cam videos - would that be the spirit you're talking about?
