Two March residents have turned a small motorbike meet into a community event that draws more than 150 bikes and boosts local businesses.
The couple started the meet on Broad Street, March, after spotting the unused space.
They expected just 10 to 20 bikes at the first meet, but more than 150 turned up.
The event has since grown, attracting even more people who do not ride.
The organisers wanted to bring the community together and support local businesses, and say the meet has increased footfall on event days.
Local shops have reported more business, providing a welcome boost during the current economic climate.
The meet is also a social event, with people of all ages meeting the bikers.
One organiser, who survived domestic violence, said arranging the meets had helped her heal mentally.
Shopping locally helps support the local economy and maintain employment, a priority previously highlighted by a March business.
