Classic rides, sportsters, crusiers, old raliegh 3 speeds
I know its not a technical vintage question, but I was curious if there is a subculture of old bikes, Cruisers
and such.
I'm looking for information on old canvas bags, old wooden fenders, and bikes from the 50's and 60's.
Thanks!

Are you asking who made wooden fenders and canvas bags back in the 50s and 60s? If so, I doubt much of anyone was making wooden fenders, and Carradice of UK has been producing cotton duck bags since at least the 1950s. Or are you asking something else?

Definitally looking for the nutters group. A group focused on older english made bikes, like the old raleigh sports, and 3 speeds.

A group dedicated to vintage English bikes (not just 3-speeds) is the Veterans Cycle Club (V-CC): https://www.v-cc.org.uk/. Many other organized UK groups listed here: https://www.harwoodcycles.com/vintage_classic.htm
