    A guard's van, those were the days, there must be 30+ bikes in there!

    No Rapha or Assos or a sniff of carbon, apart from in that guys pipe, just gallons of Brylcreem.

    Nice one CC. :)

    You realise all the cyclists featured will be dead by now don't you?

    No helmets or hi-viz see.

    The Cougar is the weekend bike, commuter, best bike and general workhorse so it it gets a bit of TLC on a Sunday.

    Ace.

    Anyone else spot the hipster dismount by the guy in plus fours near the beginning?

    My grandfather was a keen cycle tourist of about this era, and continued cycling until his hips gave up in his 80s. He took a camera with him on his tours of Cheshire and North Wales and we have an album or two full of little cigarette card-sized grainy black and white photos. I have a long term plan to try and follow some of his old routes from the photos.
