A really cool clip that proves that bicycles has been cool since the 30's.
There are all different kinds of bicycles in it.

I especially like the tandem-chariot race. 

[Frenchie]

The taxi race is brilliant indeed. Great videao!

[Riggers]

And one of the charioteers seems to be sniffing the saddle in front of him too! oo-er, wassgoingon?

[Riggers]

Have you checked out the Wacky Inventions video as well. What a laugh! The first bloke leaping off the rocks is brilliant!!!!!!!!

[Riggers]

Well, have yer punk?!

[Gus]

Ohhhhhhhh Yesssss Sirrrrrrrrr

[Really Ancien]

Czech Archival stuff, but the film seems to be from a variety of sources, the Tandem stuff seems to be French. So probably a short film put together by a Newsreel company.

There's some completely mad shit on there. Including seriously ring-puckering high wire stuff.

I want a go on the Big Wheel.  I don't care how many times I fall off.

You can try my small one first if you like

[Deano]

Oh, yeah!

Actually, I saw a wobblebike that had been converted from an old ladies' shopper at the stage of the Tour of Britain which finished in Newcastle.  I would've loved a go, but there was such a queue of kids, I didn't even get close.
