The Development of the Moulton Bicycle: a newly-digitised video from the Open University

The Open University Digital Archive (OUDA) recently informed us that as part of an online feature of the bicycle to tie-in with Rio Olympics, they had digitised a 20 minute video of Alex Moulton talking about the development of the Moulton Bicycle. The link to this video is here.  Note: This video will not play from this page on some mobile devices, if this happens just click on the “See Full Record” link just beneath it.

The video was originally made in 1971 for the OU’s T100 module Man-made world: a Foundation Course in Technology.

The OUDA have also made available online, The Science Behind the Bike, a series of films that investigates how science and technology have transformed the sport of cycling. There are 4 parts to this series. The link to the Alex Moulton video opens a page that leads to this series.

The Club would like to thank Amanda Saladine of the Open University Archive in Milton Keynes for telling us about the availability of the Alex Moulton video.
