Description

A short silent piece of footage filmed around Belfast of a lady taking her new Moulton design bicycle for a ride. Designed by Alex Moulton it was considered at the time the first major innovation in bicycle design since the 1880s and did away with the traditional diamond frame, bringing in what was called the F-Frame, which he considered easier to mount for people who were less physically able. It sold extremely well and became an iconic design of the 1960s.

An Ulster Television Production.
