An art exhibition empowering Manchester’s female cyclists has been launched in Levenshulme’s Station South following the success of November’s Lights Up night-time bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition was created as part of the Lights Up cycling campaign created by Manchester’s Cycling Mayor<\/a> Belinda Everett, which aims to challenge the underrepresentation of female cyclists and raise awareness of the issues they face day-to-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On 9 November, crowds of women and allies gathered at All Saints Park to embark on a night-time bike ride through the city centre to “reclaim the night” for female cyclists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was attended by 150 people, more than double the 60 that turned up last year. \u201cWe actually had to turn people away,\u201d Belinda said. \u201cI mean, you can see the optimism in it in comparison to when we did it last year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n \n
