Now I absolutely adore this film....it was from the year of my birth so I don't really remember. Enjoy cycle touring in a time of few cars, and well ......weren't the folks all very nice with neatly combed hair. How much it meant to people to escape the city if only for a day

Enjoy

I can't imagine handing my bike to an attended nowadays. That would be like hoping I get my luggage back undamaged from the airlines People were always well dressed, clean shaven and much more social for sure! My wife and I actually were just talking about taking the train to NY the next time we go for the adventure of it.

BTW what's with all those funny cycling clothes?....ahhhh the peaceful country side!

You lemme know when you go the the Big Apple and we'll slice it up properly.

I love older films, the attitude of people seems better as well the style of dress.

My favorite quote:

". . .bring on a touch of the bonk. . ."


but. . .

THEY
ARE
NOT
WEARING
HELMETS!
THEY
ARE
ALL
GOING
TO
DIE!!!!!!

I still wear those. Well probably.....Chap is not dressed right on a cycle without some Harris Tweed plus fours....

It was (& still is) about simple escapism & freedom to roam.

Uk trains these days....'yer can't bring that f***ing bike on this train'

S'pose quite a lot of may be, but not by not wearing a helmet.

Can't remember the last time I had a touch of the bonk!

They had not so much carbon fibre but moral fibre
