Beautiful again. An a reminder that the bicycle played a very large part in Elgar's life and work, he composed while cycling in the Malvern Hills. I am reliably informed that there are still fanatics out there, combing outhouses and car boot sales, hunting for his original machine...

That is a fascinating piece of information of which I was not aware. Thank you Moira.

A brief bit of research (I love saying that for Google) produced this , and many other examples from cycling history websites...

A well chosen POV and an excellent image of this great composer, Albert.
The Firs, Elgar's birthplace near Worcester, is now a National Trust property and may be worth a visit if you're in the area.

I love the way he uses the bike to lean on, it's like man and bike are one.
