CTC: Out for a cushy ride. 1955 film.

[GrumpyOldMan]

I've just watched the film about bicycle building in another thread and it reminded me that many years ago there was an old film on TV about travelling with a bike on a train. Anyway, after a bit of searching I found it on Youtube. http://youtu.be/kP1KxPjh4RM
Lovely stuff from a long gone age where there were probably still more bikes than cars on the road.
Enjoy.

I've seen this one a few times - cracking film though. Such generous cycle provision is a luxury compared to some train operators these days. As an ex-Watford resident, Junction station is unrecognisable from its modern-day cousin (which I think dates from the mid-80s) too!

that was a joy to watch...many thanks Ian.

And cyclists without a hint of lycra...what a pleasure. I spotted the town where i live, Atherstone, signposted towards the end, and Warwickshire is indeed still wooded, in places.

But the best bit was, and dont tell Rugby tourism, 'RUGBY!!!! why would you go to Rugby?' Priceless
