CYCLING is on the increase, with more and more events taking place across the country.
In the North-East and North Yorkshire there has been a strong tradition of cycling, with the Kelloggs Tour of Britain and the Milk race visiting the region back in the day.

I have trawled through The Northern Echo's archive to find some classic pictures from the time.
Let me know your cycling memories by emailing matt.westcott@nne.co.uk and be sure to read my On Two Wheels feature for stories, interviews and reviews.
