Pedal Power

From bone shaker bikes and Empire Games medals, to contemporary track bikes and hi-tech kit, Pedal Power is a celebration of track cycling, technology and teamwork. Take a trip around our mini reconstruction of the Manchester Velodrome, explore the science behind Team GB’s recent successes and pit yourself against Olympic greats on our time trial bike. Discover the stories behind the city’s cycling legends, including Britain’s first cycling superstar Reg Harris and 1928 Olympic Silver medallist Jack Sibbit. Pedal power is a free, family friendly exhibition celebrating everything that is great on two wheels.
