A charming little video of Oxford cycling in 1951 from Pathe News. In those days cycles were even more numerous than now. It looks like cycles were the main means of transport. The video clip seems to pick up on the problem of finding sufficient places to park (reminiscent of Amsterdam today). It looks like people didn’t even bother to lock the bike. It seems bizarre to see all the bikes propped up by the pavement in the actual road itself. These days, they would soon get knocked over by a bus!
If only….
