Thoroughly Modern: The Bicycle

Iplayer

Great program about the beginnings of the modern bicycle.

Nice mention for Pashley and their deal to provide the Royal Mail with Mailstars too. Interesting to find out the shear number of Mailstars and the fact that the fleet is continuously recycled and replaced by Pashley.

Also Rob Penn's Story of the Bicycle which puts the idea of a new golden generation of the bicycle coming forth quite well.

Just a shame the BBC shows these types of programs on BBC4 where they are probably only preaching to the choir.
