Anyone remember this?

Whilst clearing my mums flat i came across some old receipts going way back to 1937. But amongst them was this from 1970:-

The Aleywood Chimp. I actually had one and did loads if urban riding on it. Had lights too, a bicycle dynamo, but plod thought it was ok. Also had a rear (emergency) brake that just pressed a metal bar against the rear tyre !!

Also could never understand why bald men wanted to believe they really had long hair by growing it long at the back and over their ears.
At least it's not a comb-over.

He probably went down the pub in the Roller, got leathered and called James to ride down and drive him home. Wasn't there a company that used to provide this service?
