Bicycle Touring: A 1955 English Special

I posted this on the touring forum, but I figured the C&V forum would appreciate it just as much!

It's a short video (15min) about what sport tourists in the 50s would do. It's nice to see that not much has changed in terms of sport touring etiquette. Much of our favourite vintage touring bike styles can also be seen in the video. If you have the time, I encourage you to watch it. It was a nice reminder that biking is just a great way to socialize and get out there

I've seen that video years ago and downloaded it. I think it's a fantastic video and well worth watching even if it's just to see the various types of bicycles used on the tours..

Cheers
