A young musician is peddling her talents by busking in every town in Britain on her unique piano bike.
Chloe Marie Aston has already visited 200 locations with the eye-catching instrument.
And hopes to visit the remaining thousand in the next two years.

The 21-year-old used to busk with a guitar, but her fingers hurt.
So her dad, Lee, built the unusual form of transport which has a built-in mixer, amplifier and headset.
And Chloe, of Ilfracombe, Devon, never gets tired of performing with it, as reported by What’s The Jam.
“It was originally built just to be used in Ilfracombe, but I got more and more bookings from further away,” she said.
“It’s taken us all over the UK.”

Although Chloe calls it a bike, it is actually a trike with three wheels for stability.
The piano is mounted on the front two wheels with Chloe’s seat over the rear wheel.
She has used it to perform in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and London as well as places along the south coast, including the Isle of Wight.

“It’s exciting,” she added.
“I get to meet amazing people and get to see so many beautiful places.
“Someone told me there are about 1,200 towns and cities in the UK, and so there’s still a way to go.”
Dad Lee is chauffeuring her around Britain in a caravan after selling his home for the quest.
Chloe said: “It’s been really fun, it’s an adventure.
“Dad takes me to all the towns and does the social media and all sorts of other things.”
Lee said: “It’s busy – by the time I’ve taken her to a town to busk and perform, and the amount of messages that come in.
“I’m enjoying seeing so much of the UK.
“You turn up in a town, and Chloe totally changes the atmosphere.
“Some people get emotional – it’s really amazing.”
Chloe performs her own songs as well as cover versions.
Her passion for music began when she was six years old, having taken part in various music groups and theatre performances.
