Roadster type Bicycle

From the early 20th century until after World War II, the roadster constituted most adult bicycles sold in the United Kingdom and in many parts of the British Empire. For many years after the advent of the motorcycle and automobile, they remained a primary means of adult transport. Major manufacturers in Britain were Raleigh and BSA, though Carlton, Phillips, Triumph, Hercules, and Elswick Hopper also made them.
