Anyone fancy a steam powered bicycle.

I suppose it might be. The bike appears to have cottered cranks so is likely to be pre 1980. The law wouldn't allow it now but it could have grandfather rights based on the age of the frame?

Can anyone enlighten us?

I'd say the bike is early '50s.

Current regulations state "internal combustion engined vehicles". Steam powered vehicles are tax exempt, but requires insuring.

Licence requirements, seems there's confusion due to the exemptions on steam powered vehicles.
