Marriott and Moulton
Triangles of strength from Marriott and Moulton. I rode over several bridges today, this was probably the oldest. The distinctive A frame bridges built by engineer Marriott for the M&GN railway are as functional as they are elegant, using strong simple triangles for a rigid frame. The brilliant engineer Alex Moulton also drew on the strength of triangles to create the rigid but very light Moulton TSR cycle frame. The lightest TSR bike, the TSR2, has a simple backpedal gear and brake hub, so needs no cables or controls to the (separable) rear half of the bike. With very effective front and rear suspension it is very quick and smooth, and the belt drive on this model makes it virtually silent. I went for a ten mile ride today to try and rebuild stamina lost during lockdown torpor. This bike makes it a bit easier! Pic © JAS 2022
