It is with great shock and sadness that we heard of the death of Paul Lancaster, the Club’s Technical Advisor on Tuesday 16th June 2026.
He came home from a bike ride, sat in an armchair and fell asleep for the last time.
He is survived by his wife Mandy, two daughters and five grand-children.
He was very generous in his help to any Moulton owners having technical issues with their bicycles. He always seemed to have the right component to get a Moulton back on the road.
Always an early attendee at the Summer Bradford on Avon weekend, he coordinated the erection and dismantling of the Club’s marquee as well as bringing many bike spares to the Bring and Buy sales.
His friendship and contributions will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends.
If you can no longer ride your Moulton but want to come along you can meet us as at the pub, The Mason's Arms in Long Marston - the longer ride will be there by 1pm. There is lots of parking.
Unique Moulton “MW Flyte” unveiled at the 50th Anniversary meeting of the Moulton Bicycle Club.
The Moulton Bicycle Company and Moulton Bicycle Club are pleased to announce the release of a UNIQUE model in memory of Michael Woolf, founder of Moulton Preservation and the guiding heartbeat of the Moulton Bicycle Club for many of its early years.
Moulton was asked by the Moulton Bicycle Club to create a one-off bicycle to celebrate Michael’s life and in particular his devotion to preserving and supporting owners of early “F – frame” Moulton bicycles.
The Company chose its Flyte model as the basis for the work, as this model sits between the era of the 1960s “F – frame” models and the “spaceframe” models that Moulton makes today.
The frame has received a special “variegated gold patina” finish – meticulously applied by hand – to represent both Michael’s colourful and warm personality, and the restoration work he undertook.
The components have been specially selected to give a “retro” feel, with the Alfine hub gear being matched with a ‘Century crankset’ and drop handlebar equipped with a set of Versa shifters. The finishing touch is the addition of one of the last AM branded B17 saddles that Moulton has in its possession.
The “MW Flyte” was shown for the first time on 16 August 2025 at the Moulton Bicycle Club’s 50th Anniversary meeting at The Hall Eestate, Bradford on Avon. As a touching gesture, some members of the Club have worked alongside Moulton bicycle employees to add the final details to this very special bicycle.
The “MW Flyte” is to be auctioned raffled to raise money for the Brain Tumour Charity at the request of Michael’s partner Zoe. Further details to come....
