1:50 that's the rainbow jersey - Renato Bongioni

exllent,a great guy

That competitive spark!! Generations change, the right stuff doesn’t. I imagine an amazing chat with contemporary elites - Lael Wilcox, Jenny Graham.

Real bicycles.

What a great video! It was a pleasure to meet you for the last leg of your ride. The reactions you received on your penny farthing was an absolute joy to see. It instantly put a smile on everyone’s face! Keep riding safely and spreading happiness. We certainly need it! Cheers - Jonathan. 👌🏼😀👍

I was looking forward to the Blackpool to Fleetwood section, since I live in Bispham. Maybe a different title is needed?

Don't think I've ever heard anyone say "decal" that way

That is an interesting village at 8:00. What is its name?

What a fluent and entertaining speaker she was, as well. She speaks of nine miles of cobbles with a gleam in her eye and a smile on her face. A force of nature.

This was a great album. Thanks. I particularly appreciated the personal notes. Nice photo at 3:07.

Interesting bridge at ten minutes. Looks like maybe a former aqua-duct? The ground still looks pretty damp, too. Good pea-growing weather!

If Reynolds bikes crashed as much as these 15lb carbon deathtraps cycling would have been outlawed

roule ma poule ! njoylife

Members of Charlotteville Cycling Club in the opening sequence on a club run

My dad was good friends with Bob Maitland, Ian Steel and the rest of the boys back then.

Am in a dark place just now - this is pulling me up....

amazing achievement.

Bus drivers never change then!

Lovely video. Great guy and Dot. Cheers.

I can remember upgrading from a 5 to a 6 speed close ratio block (Regina 12-17) to match my single 50 tooth chainring in the late 70s - I felt like a God! Fantastic interview!

This video is great ! Can you telle me where you found it ? Is it public domain ?

I was there on that wonderful day very moving tribute to a remarkable man l now have a Pedersen of my own a genius of a bicycle to ride Rest in peace my friend.

Interesting , i always ondered if there was a link between Alex Moulton and the Norton Isolastic fastback motor bike , now we know, fantastic 😶‍🌫️🫥👍

28:21 that was timed so great

i've ridden my 531 bike since the 70's, it's part of the family, & i know it's not going to snap in two and cost £1,000's if i come off. I'd have loved a 753 back in the day but like most of us couldn't afford it. I've also got another 2 531 frames (a walvale and bill hargreaves) from that time, the lugs on the walvale are amazing - they don't make 'em like that anymore.

I remember loads of these guys from my time racing in the 70's, great to see them still going strong

No mention of the narrow bellows original Moulton and the differentiation between them and the later Moulton but lovely video

Cycling is only second to flight for the shear enormity of the thrill.

All on steel bicycles with downtube shifters too...

No, it says "Hercules". This is confirmed in their 1955 catalogue.

The first call the "Grog". A discontinued call for the Royal Navy

Brilliant interview...I had the pleasure of John comming past me in the 1982 Manchester Wheelers 100 I still have the finish sheet. I was No 92 and he was Scratch Man No 100. Guess at around 10 mls in he passed. Tried to maintain a gap for a little while but his pace was so much higher and he just gradually pulled away into the distance and dissapeared not to be seen again, By me that was.

You canny beat the Ayr lads.

Typical ridiculous background music very much a product of the time , has absolutely no relationship to the action just cheapens the whole film , thankfully this sort of condescending tripe has passed into oblivion.

I still have my 753 which I raced on back in the 70s and 80s….

I have a Raleigh in 753 tubing definitely one of the best bikes I have.

Wow Doug Petty 3rd over the top at Holme Moss. Doug got me into cycling as a boy I still ride today. He gave his life to the sport.

We ate steak for most racing meals those days, still got my best bike too…

I Bought a Ron Kitchen frame back in 1974 and I still have that bike now 2022 a lovely bike

I used to train with Denis Tarr in the 60s

Same commentator as 'A Sunday in Hell?"

Marble Arch....the number of times I've ridden round that! Great memories.

I wish i could buy a vintage roadbike like these one day.

Boardman comes across as a real arrogant poor sport in this at times

Betsy Co-ed. Yes, that mixed gender school in 1880s Alabama!

Chaincase as a structural member!

Fantastic bike history presentation! I was, however, surprised that Edwardian bicycles are still being custom made by the Pashley Bike Company. One can't help but purchase one to ride for nostalgia and think of those who came before.

What happened to John ?

I love both Obree and Boardman. Obree was a genius, he MADE the bike he set the record on and it was a unique design that helped him set the record. Boardman broke Eddy's REAL bike record.
