The website of Colin Martin, the legendary Moultoneer, who cycled from England to Australia in 1970, is back online at http://www.moultonbicycle.com.
Colin left England in 1970 on a custom built Moulton Marathon, with the intention of cycling round the world. While in Australia, his bike was stolen and he abandoned the trip and settled there.
In 2002, he continued the trip on a green Moulton New Series, travelling across North America, and visiting England and Japan.
Finally, in 2008, Colin travelled across Australia from the point where his Moulton Marathon had been stolen, to his home in Queensland, thus completing the round the world trip.
Colin's website, greenbicycle.com, which previously documented the 1970 and 2002 rides, was taken offline in 2009, to facilitate construction of a new site. However, Colin has made the original material available again at the new domain moultonbicycle.com. Read about the 1970 trip from England to Australia and the 2002 Trip Across America.
I look forward to reading about the 2008 ride in due course!
Aren’t thieves just the scum of the earth? I mean, you may have spent months working like a drover’s dog to save the money to buy such a bike and then some heartless lowlife just up and steals it just like that. Hope whoever it was fell off and broke their neck.
