I am searching hard to find more details of the Donkey bike without success.

Maybe someone else can search from a different angle. I would love to know more about it.

Hi Steve
We have one in our Museum in North London. If you need any photos or details, please let me know. Rob

This you would expect to see at billy smarts circus.
The Raleigh chopper was dangerous enough to ride

I learned more about road riding in six months, aged 10 on a Raleigh Chopper in 1976 than I have in 40 years since... Don't let go with your left hand, rear wheel skids are controllable but front ones involve dentists, that's a stupid place for a gear shifter and you always suffer to look cool......

It might be worth looking for the German Equivalent.

In the first video he mentions the name - which, like a lot of German words, is a long-winded explanation of what it does.

If you could work out how to spell that, you might have more success.
