- Summary
- COI synopsis: British designer Alex Moulton, who designed the mini car suspension, has produced a new type of bicycle that has revolutionised two wheel travel. This bicycle has a rubber suspension system which gives its rider a jolt-free ride. Its small wheels give greater speed and the saddle can be adjusted to suit any member of the family. A special folding version can be stowed in a car’s boot and a racing model, with three gears, can reach a speed of more than fifty miles an hour.
