Part of the line up for the hobbyhorse world record bid
|
Eleven riders claim to have broken the world record for the most hobbyhorses standing in line for the longest time.
Hobbyhorses with metal rimmed or hard rubber wheels are early types of bicycle where riders sat on a saddle and ran along - there were no pedals.
They were featured this weekend at the 50th anniversary Vintage and Vintage Cycle Rally at Upwell, Cambridgeshire.
The riders had to stay balanced on the hobbyhorses for three minutes without any part of them touching the ground.
Colin Bedford, one of the rally organisers from March Veteran Cycle Club, took part in the record attempt which is yet to be verified.
He said: "We are really proud to have achieved this record but towards the end of the three minutes it was getting difficult.
