About 50 people on bikes and old-fashioned clothes gathered in central Kyiv for the annual Retro Cruise bicycle parade on April 29.

This is the fifth time the event has been held. The participants favor dressing up clothes fashionable in the early 20th century. They rode around the city, stopping occasionally to take refreshments and photographs.

Apart from cycle rides with old-fashioned bicycles, the participants in Retro Cruise also regularly gather for dances and other retro-themed events.

Participants say they use old clothes and accessories from parents and grandparents to assemble their outfits.
