Winged Wheel by William Oakley (1977), published by the CTC.

The history of the first hundred years of the Cyclists' Touring Club - 1878 to 1976. The book contains an abundance of fascinating detail about the origins, founding fathers, growth, and fluctuating fortunes of the CTC. The period from 1967 to 1976 is headed: Reawakening.

We await an engaged historian to document the following phase, perhaps opening with a chapter entitled: Decline and Fall at the Hands of the Marketeers and Vandals from Charitocratia,  yet culminating in a New Awakening. Who knows?

Warning to snowflakes:
This book may appeal only to a limited readership.
