VINTAGE and veteran bicycles will return to the streets of March this weekend when a cycle club holds its 25th anniversary rally.
Sunday will see about 80 people, all dressed in vintage costume, enjoy two rides around the town totalling eight miles.
Everyone taking part will be given a badge to mark the anniversary of March Veteran and Vintage Cycle Club, which was started by Margaret and Colin Bedford.
Mr Bedford, of Norwood Avenue in March, said: "We were members of the Peterborough club and in 1982 we decided to start our own group in March.
You may also want to watch:
"We held a ride from the field in Station Road opposite my house to Elm and back."
About 65 people joined the ride that day, despite the pouring rain they were met with for most of the day.
