The Norwich Dodgers Penny Farthing Cycling Club founded by Mr Kerrison. Norwich, Norfolk. M/S of a group of people with their bicycles, camera pans across to various vintage models. M/S man adjusting large bike. M/S of another man looking at wooden type cycle. C/U of man adjusting 'bedstead' type bike. M/S as a whole family mount a large tricycle. M/S of the group starting on penny farthings etc. The man mounts the bedstead and rides off. Various shots as they cycle along the road. I stumbled across this video on-line whilst looking up cycling in Norwich's history and found it relevant to Fusco's lecture as she too had used British Pathé as a research source. What I love about this video is it shows a group of bike enthusiasts from the past here in Norwich, and the quirkiness of their bikes they've crafted. This has definitely interested me further in looking into cycling from the past as I find learning how our ancestors lived a fascinating subject for myself.
