Description

A police information film made in Salford - on being bought a new bicycle, a schoolboy learns to ride it safely by keeping it in good order and following the Highway Code. Sequences follow, some humorous, showing him riding the bicycle, obeying some road signs and ignoring others, riding dangerously, and having a minor accident.
[The preservation of this film was funded by a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.]
