Fans of The Smiths are to stage a charity bike ride to raise funds for the ongoing renovation of Salford Lad's Club, which featured on the cover of the band's The Queen Is Dead album.

Thieves have been stealing roofing materials from the Manchester, England landmark, prompting club bosses to undertake lengthy and expensive remodeling.

And now fans of the group that helped make the building famous all over the world are set to hit the city streets for a sponsored bike tour of the band's haunts on September 30.
