Subject: [CR]1950s British Cycle Touring Documentary

Some friends of mine at the bicycle film festival came across this documentary from 1955, about day tripping club cyclists from the CTC, and I thought there might be some interest on the list, or at least people with 15 minutes to kill watching old british touring bikes.

Its definitely targeted at cyclists, with plentiful shots of packs of 50's touring bikes sweeping through the lanes, as well as 'helpful' advice like "Modern touring cycles have Endrick aluminium rims, and a derailler gear system giving as many as 10 different gears from 29 to 82."

Its in 2 parts:
