Is this Britain's oldest bike? 199-year-old bicycle found in disused barn
Wouldn't like to go too far on that.

It's a great Festival of Cycling where all the bikes have to be Vintage and their riders dress in the old gear. It's a good day out especially if you get into Chatsworth Park with a picnic and watch them all go through.
