PEDAL power from the past will be making a big impact in North Yorkshire next week.
More than 200 historic cycles will be gathered in Northallerton for a rally, and their owners will be celebrating the millennium with a veteran cycle ride.
Boneshakers, penny farthings, trikes and tandems will be taking to the streets on September 3 for a ten-mile ride around the town.
Many of the riders, who are coming from all over the UK, will be wearing costumes from the 1860s to the 1930s.
The event is part of the 44th annual rally of the National Association of Veteran Cycle Clubs, and is being hosted by the Bygone Bykes Yorkshire Club.
The millennium ride will be the culmination of the three-day event, which is based at the Allertonshire School.
Organiser John Coulson said: "It is a very prestigious event. All the cycles must be pre-1935 to enter and our current list shows some impressive machines.
"We hope as many people, as possible will come and see them on the millennium ride. It will be a spectacular sight."
