Cycle King

One of a number of branches, I think this was the first store opened, located in Sawbridgeworth. I bought a cycle from here in the very early 1980s, so long ago I went up on a Green Line Route 718 to collect it, having seen the advert for this cycle in a local paper.

 

I rode it home but one of the cranks kept coming loose. A man on duty in an AA (car breakdown service) box on the outskirts of Epping fixed it for me (remember manned boxes?) and I rode home without issue. I kept the cycle for a number of years.
