Family fun was the order of the day at a cycling event in the sun.
Children and adults took to their bikes at the Burley Recreation Ground in Iron Row, Burley-in-Wharfedale, on Friday under the guidance of qualified cycling coach and teacher Chris Armstrong.
The free event is one of a number taking place around Bradford district this summer, in conjunction with Becycling and Bradford Council.
The events are designed to get people out on their bikes and having fun, rather than necessarily looking for the next Olympic champions, such as Bradley Wiggins or Laura Trott, and are open to all the family.
Cycling games are set up by Mr Armstrong, and families can also enjoy a picnic at the event.
