Moulton Safari M3 bicycle, 1962.

Made in 1962, the Moulton Safari M3 bicycle was designed by the Moulton Bicycle company, based in Wiltshire. It was one of a series of bikes designed by Alex Moulton in response his frustration with the largely static design of bicycle frames. The frame is designed to be more comfortable for users of all genders, easier to store, and has a suspension system for a more comfortable ride, which would not become common on bicycles for several decades.
