What better time is there for a look back on these bike memories. After all, the pandemic has spurred people on to get out, get in the saddle and shape up the cycling way.

We have reminders of charity rides, a bike ‘blinging’ day, and even the day you made smoothies using pedal power.

So get pedalling back in time. We’ve got lots of retro photos for you to peruse!

Staff at Tesco in The Bridges cycled the equivalent of the 2,200 miles to Lapland on exercise bikes for charity. Were you among the caring fundraisers 9 years ago? Photo: Picture by Peter Berry
