Video of the Cyclists Touring Club (CTC) from 1955

October 12, 2007 in History

Not much in the way of Moulton content here, but I thought this might be of interest to some readers.

It’s a little portrait of cycling heaven. Of course cycling heaven will contain many Moultons, and this video does not. The reason being that the film dates from 1955, less than a year before Alex Moulton bought his Hetchins bicycle, which prompted him to begin his life long quest to improve on the classic bicycle.

It’s a wonderful look back into what seems like a different planet. Rail carriages dedicated to carrying bikes, few cars on the roads, lugged steel frames, and a total absence of lycra.
