Attitude Magazine feature Ridelow

With the largest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender festival coming to Manchester this weekend and the expected turn out to be a lot bigger than 2010, we thought we ought to write a blog post that fits in with the Gay Pride event!

So, if any of you have picked up the August issue of Attitude Magazine or were browsing the magazine rack in your local corner shop you might of noticed Manchester's own X-Factor winner Shayne Ward mentioned on the front cover of the best selling gay magazine.

The inside spread in the magazine shows Shayne Ward getting 'Attitude Active' on Manchester's canal side with an interesting interview on one of our very own Ridelow bikes. The Electra Straight 8 Alloy 3i BlackMens Bike to be exact, in which a member of the Attitude team rode off to the shoot on the bike itself!

Ridelow features in the next BIG McDonalds advert

The worlds largest chain of fast food restaurants, McDonald's has been around for over 80 years and in that time has created one of the most memorable whistled tunes that can be recognised all over the globe along with their well loved "quick grub".

And with that we are excited that Ridelow are going to be “helping out” the McDonald's company with their next big advertisement. By lending them an “Electra Indy 3i Mens Bike” that couldn't be more suited to the memorable golden arches on a red background logo with its red and cream vintage style frame that is also available for you too get your hands on too!

Not giving too much away the advertisement is going to flick through the years of Mcdonald's serving fast food over the globe starting in America in the 1960's and eventually ending up to todays more updated style in which our bike is going to feature in!

Before and After Subism came to Town...

You've all heard the rumors or seen the regular updates of pictures from either our @Ridelow team themselves, the street artists @Subism_Ltd or the Manchester NQ Blogger @NQManchester over popular Social Networking sites and Blogs.

But as of last week the Subism street artists finished their collaboration of the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth and officially completed it to perfection.

The fire and water element are both symbolized by beautifully intricately painted women, the wind by a quirky style blue cloud and the earth by a rocky wooden mine shaft. The guys managed to finish the work with in the 5 day time scale whilst @CrankPhoto photographed and filmed the entire thing with interviews included.

Something has got the locals talking about Ridelow....

If you havent already seen the beginnings of the impressive Street Art being created on one of the most prominent walls in Manchester Northern Quarter then you must of at least read the comments being shared over Social Networking sites of a "stunning" piece of graffiti being painted on the Ridelow building.

The four guys that are painting this incredible piece are a team called Subism Ltd. They are multi-faceted, independent creative business with its roots in modern street art, illustration and graffiti.
They have teamed up with RedBull to create a themed piece of the "Four Elements" on what was a blank canvas and if your looking to check out the guys at work, dont worry they will be here for a whole week (15th-19th Aughust).
