Aims and Objectives of the PVCC

The aims and objectives of the PVCC are to provide a mobile history of cycling through the ages, and promote interest in other like-minded people in order to achieve a secure future for our hobby.

This is achieved by preserving, renovating and riding cycles that were manufactured more than 50 years ago, although some younger machines, with special design features, can often be seen at our displays.

We attend numerous events each summer taking a comprehensive selection of cycles, with the riders wearing the appropriate period costume.

During the year many talks are given to schools by our members to assist with their transport and Victorian Projects. Talks and demonstrations have also been given to the Women's Institute and other such organisations.

The Club actively promotes and encourages new members of all ages. Activities take place throughout the country, and overseas, and membership is by no means confined to the East Midlands.

During the Club's early years members rode cycles from Cyril Mundy's vintage collection, and whilst many members have acquired their own cycles over the years, it is not essential for new members to own a suitable cycle in order to get involved.
