Overview

Don't try this at home, kids! This eccentric guide to safety on two wheels offers a catalogue of cycling don'ts, from wobbling and weaving to hair-combing while riding hands-free, all under the watchful eye of a pedalling angel. Using a dollop of wit and a heap of charm, director Richard Massingham was a wizard of the public information short, with a gift for delivering lessons without patronising.
