Scratched my Mavic itch again, just acquired a history of the brand "Au coeur du vélo" , full of great photos like this:

Mavic made pedal cars in the 1930's in small quantities, the top one is so rare that only one is known ,it was found in the home of s Paris collector and it is now in the Mavic museum.

I think that's likely to be just a tad optimistic... Happy to be proved wrong though.

Going to go out for a brief bimble. It's blue recycling bin this week, and i want to go and furkle in a neighbour's bin for newspapers.

Not bothering to put mine out, there's hardly anything in it.
