Here is another quirky machine from my collection. A 1982 Itera plastic bicycle. No, don't laugh, it is a real machine!

Not seen one of those wee beasties in a while.

One of the local bike shops has one locked up outside to draw attention. It looks and feels terribly flimsy. Not in the best nick tho

I remember those - a teacher had one at school. They had the mickey taken out of them mercilessly, even back then.

I sort of know the feeling. Although I displayed mine at a local classic vehicle show over the weekend. Most people were fascinated by it......"tap, tap".

At least it won't rust. I believe they also made a drop bar version.
