Indeed sad day - most of the commuter folders owe something to his designs.
Plus I learnt he was also behind the suspension of the original mini.

I've a hunch that Mini suspension - from very hazy memories of Dad's old Clubman - and that of the Moulton bike use not dissimilar thinking (rubber "doughnuts", etc.).
You're absolutely right about small-wheeled commuter bikes - many owe some debt to Alex Moulton in design terms, suspension or not.

I am wondering if the hearse will pull up at the grave, and the onlookers will be puzzled at the 2x2 hole in the turf, until they start folding up the coffin.
True innovators just don't happen along every day, RIP.

One of the true greats of British History , I'm glad they are still making them to what seems a high demand
