Not to be outdone by the display of yellow bikes in the neighbouring village of Melmerby (see NY6137 : The yellow bikes of Melmerby (1)), the inhabitants of Langwathby have set about the task of adorning their village with at least 25 yellow bikes in anticipation of the Aviva Tour of Britain 2015. Stage 5 of the Tour on September 10th runs from Prudhoe in the Tyne valley to the finish on Hartside Pass.

These two examples are stationed at the eastern end of the village where the A686 passes under the bridge carrying the Settle and Carlisle Railway. There are six more dotted along the main road between here and Melmerby.
