yg remembers the Raleigh and other old bikes and what made them special.

today, a light bicycle is a good bicycle. by this standard, all old bicycles like raleigh, hercules and robin hood are not good bicycles because they were much too tough and heavy. but, old bicycles were built to last; they were designed for durability and utility, not speed and transportability. can you imagine carrying one of these old roadsters on a rack at the back of your car; don’t talk about on the roof.
