My intention in the creation of the Moulton bicycle was to take the evolution of that most remarkable device a stage beyond its classical form. In other words to produce a bicycle which was more pleasing to have and to use....One of the most pleasing consequences of the Moulton bicycle epic so far has been the spontaneous growth of the Moulton Users' groups: and to meet and to ride with them gives me special pleasure. -- Dr. Alex Moulton *** The purpose of this book is twofold. It introduces the Moulton bicycle to the many people - cyclists and non-cyclists alike - who either know nothing of it or whose knowledge is limited by the virtual disappearance of this extraordinary machine from our roads; by the numerous myths circulating about it and by the cursory mention it receives in most cycling books. Additionally, the book offers to Moulton owners and devotees a further appreciation of the background history and capability of the bike.
