Peter as the Victorian Cyclist

Nearly 14000 daring young people have now sat on this 52" 'Ordinary' at many venues around England. Thank you for 19 years real pleasure!

Many have taken their own picture to school for their 'Victorian Project'

Please print out my Cycle history pages, this will also help.

Allo Allo 'Gendarme'

Peter's 40s!!

 

 

 

 

This beautifully restored very early 46" Ordinary, made to fit a teenager, was probably made by James Starley at the 'Singer' Sewing Machine factory, Coventry. 400 were ordered to a French design for export, however the French went to war! So here we are riding one, 140 years later!

 Starley later produced the 'Rover Safety Bicycle' and became a Motor Car manufacturer of repute.
