EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exhilarating start of the NSPCC Centenary Pennyfarthing Ride from Lands End in Cornwall to John o Groats in Scotland, an epic charity event that took place in the summer of 1984. Two intrepid cyclists, dressed in 1980s cycling attire, prepare for the arduous journey on their vintage pennyfarthing bicycles. The local mayor, dressed in formal attire and holding a ceremonial chain, looks on with a mix of admiration and apprehension, as he prepares to shake hands with the first cyclist and officially start the ride. The Pennyfarthing, a historical mode of transport that dates back to the late 1800s, adds an extra layer of challenge to the already daunting journey. The cyclists' determination and commitment to the cause are evident in their focused expressions and well-worn cycling shorts. The event marked the centenary of the NSPCC, a leading children's charity in the UK, and aimed to raise funds and awareness for the organization. The photograph transports us back in time to the 1980s, with the cyclists' tee shirts, shorts, and the mayor's formal attire providing a vivid reminder of the era. The stark contrast between the modern day and the past is further emphasized by the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean visible in the background, reminding us of the vast distance the cyclists were about to cover. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of charity, community, and human resilience.
