ON YOUR BIKE: A HISTORY OF CYCLlNG ON FILM (2-DVD SET)
Every time l see an adult on a bicycIe, l no longer despair for the future of the human race. H G Wells.
This two-disc coIlection provides a fascinating portrait of the British cycIing experience on film featuring entertaining short dramas, animations, advertisements, newsreel items, and pubIic information films.
From nineteenth-century women elegantly dispIaying their proficiency to the cut-throat 1928 Olympic Trials at the Herne HilI Velodrome and careIess 1980s BMX kids meeting untimely ends, the films on this set offer up a century of cycling in Britain whilst celebrating classic brands such as RaIeigh, Hercules, Moulton, Humber, Rudge and Witcomb.
