My favourite is the 10 year old girl in 1930 who cycled 100 miles from Huddersfield to Rhyll with her dad. Stayed the night then cycled back the next day. Her pals didn’t believe her, she said - You can ask my dad </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20372#post-338651 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 21:38:23 +0000 Rosie 338651@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Really good documentary of the history of the Raleigh company, from its earliest days to the present.</p> <p>There are some champion folk on this, including a bloke in tweeds riding one of the first bikes; a rockabilly former factory worker with the most astonishing sideburns; and the delightful Eileen something, a tiny woman who broke the record for John O'Groats to Lands End. </p> <p>Also terrific footage of early bikes, advertisements and the various kinds of cycles.</p> <p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08j8mvl/pedalling-dreams-the-raleigh-story" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08j8mvl/pedalling-dreams-the-raleigh-story</a> </p>
