Old, but I'd not watched it before so it's going here.

Probably a repost but I only just got around to watching this short film

Potentially uplifting bit of schmaltz here – the chap from Stranger Things and Full Metal Jacket playing a cycling coach

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I strongly urge you to watch this.
Like the film Klunkerz before it it documents one of the most important points in cycling history and is a great reminder of a time when fun was all that mattered. ❤️

It comes as a bit of a surprise that Alex Moulton sounds so posh. Not many members of the bike trade ever perfected the 'received pronunciation' which Mr. Moulton does so well.
In the attached photo, which was taken outside his stately home at Bradford on Avon, can be seen the member s of a Pedal Club outing dating from about the time of the film. Moulton was a member.
Whatever the benefits of small wheels might be, I think we can now accept that for speed and distance they are not a great idea. It's surprising to see Moulton demonstrating his front suspension without any thought to how much power that undamped system would absorb when the rider gets out of the saddle!
I do have anecdotes about the Moulton Bike attempts at racing, which I can retail here if anyone is interested.
There are several well known figures in this photo, including Dave Duffield, Stan Butler, Cyril Wren, Harry Ferris and Will Townsend. Again, I can identify them if anyone is interested.
P.S.
Sorry, the photo hasn't reproduced as well as I thought it would - the original is pretty good quality, so I could have another go, if anyone is interested in events half a century ago.
