Be careful out there.

80 years of victim-blaming starts there?

Was there a companion film asking motorists to stop knocking people off their bikes?

 

[Drago]

Good God above. How did anyone survive to reach adulthood back then?

I have to say times don't change much even if the bikes do, kids round here can't ride 5 yards unless they pull at least one wheelie.

I didn't think that the incident at 3.07 was legal in those days.

The film is 'The Ballad of the Battered Bicycle'.
Narrated by Stanley Holloway and released in 1947.

Was that film supposed to frighten cyclists?

 

[Cycleops]

Can we have Albert and The Lion next?

With pleasure, one of my favourites:

Henry later grew up and purchased an Audi Q7 which he drives in the same style in which he cycled.
