From stylish jerseys to bibs, shorts, jackets, and more, there’s something for everyone.
Beyond retail, Rapha Manchester features a cosy café that serves excellent coffee, snacks, and light meals. It’s not just a place to grab a bite but a hub where the cycling community can gather, share stories, and immerse in the rich cycling culture.
Katie is particularly passionate about how Rapha Manchester doubles up as a cycling hub. Weekly organised group rides set off from here, exploring the beautiful routes in nearby Peak District and Cheshire Lanes. Whether you're a local or just visiting, these rides foster a sense of camaraderie and adventure. Cyclists looking to up their game can join the Rapha Cycling Club (RCC) for even more activities and events.
