Station South CIC

Station South is a haven for cyclists in Levenshulme, Manchester. More than just a café, it's a community hub where cycling enthusiasts can refuel, meet like-minded individuals, and immerse themselves in the world of bikes.

The Story:

Station South's story began in 2015, when a group of passionate cyclists saw a gap in the Levenshulme cycling scene. They envisioned a space that catered not just to riders' physical needs, but also fostered a sense of community and belonging. With hard work and dedication, they transformed a former railway station into the vibrant, welcoming space it is today.
