How a Raleigh Roadster was made in 1945.

Old British Council Film with a rather pedestrian presentation, but a fascinating view of social history as well as of developing production methods and bike design.

How old is the boy? In our times a boys' voices break much sooner. He dresses just like his father - no teenage culture yet.

Excellent, that's the way to make a bicycle, especial one "that brings relaxation, health and happiness". Although, I did expect the voice over to introduce Bagpuss and the Marvellous Mechanical Mouse-organ at any moment. I was particularly impressed by the lady who could fit a tyre and inner tube to a wheel in 50 seconds. They don't make them like that anymore.

I really enjoyed that. There is room for a bit of health and safety.
