Look at all the jobs bicycle factories used to create! :D
-
Back then bike companies actually made the entire bike. Today bike companies are nothing more than frame builders. Simply bolting on aftermarket components to a simple frame but claiming all the glory.

simply incridible, o filme tão antigo e a tecnologia já imperava . beautiful

Back it the day when steel was light :D

I wish they still made bicycles like this. The bikes and clothing people wear and ride now look like rolling advertisements for some bizarre EXTREME sport. Doesn't anyone just use bicycles for transportation anymore.

Just bought an old Raleigh bike in need of restoration. Looks like it's the same model as featured here.

A swastika that appears to have a man with his arm extended shooting it!
Of course, England suffered greatly in WWII - repeated air attacks, including the infamous german buzz bomb -

Remember when economies did well because 90% of the goods were produced in that country?!
Remember when politician's were not so corrupt and didn't sleep with corporations?

no wonder the old bikes and parts are so mutch stronger and better lasting than the bikes of today
-

Say "psychic benefits" again.Jeez I should be a bike messenger, im always cycling through my busy town fast dealing with people and traffic and have never had an accident. :DLooks good in the sun Part of me thinks these guys are douchebags and give cyclists a bad name and part of me thinks it's awesome. New York looks like a zoo anyway. Gotta say, this is the only bike vid I've seen in recent memory with any decent music. man now I want a brooks saddle and move to Seattle Washingtonvery in depth documentary, worth every second What do you think about that ?You are not alone. :)I just started riding a bike again, I have literally no knowledge on them other than they have two wheels and goes forward when i pedal. I just watched this video and am now confused and worried as hell. How often do problems like the ones described in the video occur? I don't have the money to take my bike to a shop all the time to have this stuff done, nor the tools. I'm hoping after watching it again I can do some of this myself but am still worried about the frequency of these issues and how I will figure out if something is wrong.What do you think about that ?Are those drop handlebars or moustache type at 16:25 - 16:30 or so?

Raleigh, made in Nottingham, England. You can tell first by the fork crown being tubular with chrome end caps, and how the fork blades are attached to it, and second by the chainring pattern.
