I was just given my uncles Raleigh bicycle, though it is much more recent than some pictured here, it weighs quite a bit and is pretty solid. My uncle always took care of the bicycle as he did not drive this was his transportation around town.









Now I need to pick up a lock, you never know if someone wants your bike more than you do.

I will try to get photos up this weekend. I didn't take many but my riding partner took some.

Unless I miss my guess, you have a late 50's to early 60's vintage Raleigh Sport there in the 3 speed version. A wonderful bicycle to ride, and very lovely.

My wife has the exact same bicycle, only re-branded as Eaton's Truline Glider. The Eaton's department store, which became a Canadian Institution which is sadly gone now, made most of its success out of mail-order in the early days because of Canada's enormous territory and sparse infrastructure. They needed a sturdy, well built, reliable bicycle that would need little to no service or repair because it would have been ruinously expensive for them to deal with returns. They turned to Raleigh and had them re-badge and re-colour their excellent Raleigh Sport as the Truline Glider. The Truline's came in the 3 speed Sturmey Archer version or the 5 speed with Hurett Alvit derailleur.

I should really post some pics of the wifey's bike one of these days.

I didn't take many photos (too busy riding). If I get access to my riding partners photos I will post some of those.

But here is me on the way:

It is amazing with all you wonderful loungers here.....we seem to met at the most unexpected places here at Fedora Lounge.
From the interest for Irving Flying Jackets, passing through whiskies, music and so many other great things to do - and now I found this lovely site about so many interesting bicyckles, mostly vintage I see.
My Bicyckle - or is it called recumbent in english? sofa bike perhaps?
well, it is not vintage in any way,but it is indeed very joyful to lay down on the back, in a fairly laid back position, and take a journey out in the beautiful green landscape.
In the beginning it was a bit tricky to maintain the balance on the bike, and I have taken it to the ground on several ocassions, mostly in the turnings, but sitting low, no harm has been made so far...not on me, and not to the bike.
Greetings
Allan

G&T Thanks for the information, if it indeed of that vintage he kept it in great shape, I should ask my aunt about it the next time I see her. It really would not surprise me as I also have a chroma lithograph that was my uncles from about 1850 or so of Robert Burns that he brought over from Scotland in the 1950's (We took it to the Antiques Roadshow to get an idea of the date)
