Betcher, cycle safety film 1971

A bit long at 12 minutes, but it features Keith Chegwin in a safe cycling competition judged by Peter Noone out of Herman's Hermits, and a surprising number of Moultons.

12 mins of Keith Chegwin is normally about a quarter of an hour too long, but I wanna get home & watch.  Are there ridiculous flares & platform shoes being worn?

Probably most interesting if you know the bit of London it was filmed in, there's a sign to Hampton and a pub called the Oxford Arms.

Lovely piece of nostalgia for those of us born in 1958 (so 13 years old at the time that film was made)...

You can't possibly be as old as me ... unless you were born before 30 Aug in which case you could be.

great movie, the gang rape and the stabbing towards the end really made me stop and think

There's a sequence where Butch is taking the primary position, yet is criticized for this... tsk tsk
