Re:
THM:
Red tricycle was a Raleigh Winkie.
Similar to the Gresham Flyer.
In the early post war era my first bike was a BSA 20 inch with 26 x 1 1/2 wheels kindly donated. This had a BSA 3 speed, and can be found in 1938 BSA catalogue.
A bit later I got a new BSA sports bike, and by 1949 had a new BSA Gold Column.
My local cycle shop sold BSA and was run by a gentleman who had worked previously building Dursley Pedersen bikes.
No pictures available.
Now back to sleep.

My mates' 3spd town bike threw a wheel one afternoon so I refitted his old Grifter back wheel including the SA 3spd. It was a lot of fun apart from from the pedal strikes on the corners
