RIP Dr Alex Moulton
Dr Alex Moulton has died aged 92. RIP.
He designed the lovely and inovative small wheeled, suspended bikes which were the inspiration for Raleigh's RSW and Twenty.

Sad news, but we can't say he didn't enjoy (cycling) life to the very maximum... I was the proud owner of one of his creations once, sadly stolen
