and they are Moulton-tolerant at least. I didn't ask their opinion of
100 year old cars, so maybe it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.

Possibly the view of cyclists 100 years ago - ridiculous wasteful
contraption, it'll never last? The Moulton, if not veteran, certainly counts
as "vintage" now, given that any car made before 1975 now seems to count as
a restorable collector's item judging by what appears in the mags of that
ilk. Sought-after Vauxhall Vivas! well, I never.
I'll be attending, possibly both Saturday (for the private jumble) and the
Sunday (for the trade stands, to stock up on inner tubes, chains,etc) and
will look out for you.
On a Moulton-Cam topic, has anyone officially claimed the title of First
Moulton Over The Milton Bridge? I rode over it on the first day at about
5.30 coming back from a meeting in Shelford, but was too early to be among
the first gang to christen it at 2.30pm, and besides I was on the
bigwheeler. Any claimants with dates and times? I've ridden it several times
since but still only on the bigwheel bike. Lovely how they just HAVE to have
chicanes of dark posts in the entrances of the bridge carriageway as a motor
vehicle deterrent which are far more of a hazard to the bikes!
