There has been an incredible reaction to the MCR Party Bike - where ten can pedal away while Manc party tunes ring out - so we headed on board
Whoops and cheers ring out across the bustling Stevenson Square, packed with revellers waving their arms on a sunny Saturday. Many rush over with their mobile phones taking photos and videos as if a major celebrity has walked into the Northern Quarter.
They've only been operating for the past few Saturdays in the city centre, but already the reaction has knocked their socks off. The MEN first reported on the bike earlier this week, and after that article Stuart laughs: "I haven't slept since". Indeed, on my trip given there was 18 legs all pedalling away at once I thought we might have built up a bit more momentum. Yet hilariously we never got to a speed to match, say, a passing baby buggy to be honest.
The journey itself heads on a short loop around the Northern Quarter, starting on Hilton Street next to the Corner Boy bar, through Stevenson Square up to Great Ancoats Street and back down Oldham Street. There's a couple of pit stops along the way too to rest legs and recharge the plastic cups if required.
