EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1984, we witness the indomitable spirit of a group of determined youngsters who refuse to be deterred in their quest for a cycle track. No obstacle can keep them down, as every time their mud jumps are torn apart, they resolutely build another course - even resorting to using their bare hands when spades are unavailable. The image captures the essence of childhood adventure and resilience as The 40 strong Norton group fearlessly practices on their homemade course situated on wasteland within the Glebe Estate. Their passion for cycling is evident in the way they navigate through the rugged terrain with unwavering determination. These young cyclists epitomize an era where outdoor leisure activities were cherished and embraced by children seeking thrill and excitement. With bicycles adorned with helmets, these fearless riders embody both safety consciousness and youthful exuberance. Transported back to the vibrant 1980s, this snapshot reminds us of simpler times when bikes were not just modes of transportation but symbols of freedom and exploration. It serves as a nostalgic reminder that amidst concrete jungles, there existed pockets of untamed wilderness where dreams could be realized through sheer willpower. This extraordinary photograph from Teesside Archive's collection encapsulates the joyous spirit of youth and celebrates the power of perseverance against all odds.
