Manchester Day Parade

So here's the fella, all finished off. You first met him a few weeks ago when he looked like this. But here he is now, pedalling in full smart gear and stealing the show of floats at the Manchester Day Parade. We, as participants in the parade, were not prepared for how exposed we were going to be to the adoring loyal crowds as we pedalled slowly through the shut down streets of the city centre. We definitely thought we were going to be hidden in the masses, but there we were on full show. People didn't seem to notice that we were just chugging along on our regular bikes, wearing our regular clothes and generally feeling a bit stage stricken, so it wasn't long before we fell into the act + absorbed every cheer that was thrown at us and our huge biking friend.
