A ride on a 1935 Raleigh bike in the North East of England.

Join me for a ride on this faithful old bike, in a snapshot of the English North Eastern countryside, as I head for the river Wansbeck, dodge a thunderstorm, and take the odd wrong turn.

A very pleasant and enjoyable ride

Thanks for sharing. I have a Dutch Gazelle with rod operated drum brakes made in 2004.

Well, my Dad had an old Raleigh Bicycle like this and rode it to work every day. We did have a family car which we went to Church in and for outings and shopping at the weekend. I always wanted to ride dad's bike but was never "big enough" to do so.. (Phil)

Ne'er cast a clout till May is out!
What a smashing bicycle.

[@RichardSmith-cn9mx]

I always abide by this saying, I always found that by the time the month of May was finished i really was getting very hot indeed🥵 It was only in recent years that i found out it was the "May" blossom from the Hawthorn bush that it was referring too!!!!!!!!!!🥴😄

Looks a lovely area, the weather has been very wet this year up to now, and time is flying, hope we get a dryer summer

I hope so, there's lots to be done outdoors.

You poor bugger. lol

Nice video. A little like where I am in Ireland. Some specs for the bike would be good.

Well well you’re in the land of my birth. I always thought you lived in Lancashire

[@The_Car_Sanctuary]

I flit between the two. Roots in Lancashire.

Old Raleigh’s collect owners.

It's a terrible addiction.
