Story Notes
A documentary about the bicycle and its rise in popularity in Ireland as a form of transport.
In this documentary, produced by Jim Lockhart, we hear of the highs and lows of life as a cyclist in Ireland in 1985.
There's also some interesting history on Dunlop's pneumatic tyre, and some stories from one particular collectors group of incredible bikes.
