I am surprised that there has 'nt been a reply or response to this posting, well not on list anyway!
Over the years I and others in the UK have made efforts to try and explain
to the folks in the States the kind of club life and bikes we rode. There i s nothing like experiencing the real thing and those two films get as near to
reality as anyone could get. The pictures are as I remember those days which give a true picture of cycling here in the years of a bygone era .
I know there are many folks in the States who are always interested in our cycling history and wanting to learn more. These films go a long way to fulfilling that interest and give another insight of how it was really like here in the UK.
