Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Revolution on Wheels. DESCRIPTION: The Moulton bicycle (the man responsible is Alex Moulton, who gave us the revolutionary suspension for the Morris 1100) could be the answer for the motorist bogged down in heavy traffic. Assembly is absolutely simple, and takes only a few seconds, the frame is sprung, both inside the head column and at the rear of the backbone, and the price ranges from £25 to £43. There are several variations, for motorists, general pedal-abouts, touring, and one for the racing man. SHOTLIST: Key scene.
