VINTAGE CYCLES TAKING PART
1820-1870
Page one of a list and photos taken on the day of the riders
and cycles that cycled round the course near Lutterworth on the
2002 rally of vintage cycles. It starts with 1903 and on down
to 1927. Most years on this list have at least one cycle. Riders
often have more than one cycle and ride one cycle, one year, and
another next year. If one has spent all year doing up a cycle,
this is rally to show it off in. Each year will see newly restored
cycles of all sorts on show.
We start with the oldest cycles in the rally this year. Any
one who entered late, is not included sorry.
1820 to 1870
Nice to see so many of these very old cycles, still in use
today, as they did not make 10,000s like they do today. These
boneshakers have solid steel frames and wooden wheels with a steel
tyre like a cart wheel. They have only a steel bolt in the wheel
and no ball bearings. They rattle along the road shaking every
bone, which is why they got there name. Why do they all belong
members to the Desford lane Club?
