British Military Bicycles
Since finding out I have a WW2 Hercules military bicycle, I'm going through this forum and other sources to collect more information on the subject of British military bicycles:

See http://bsamuseum.wordpress.com/the-military-roadster/ for "Pedal Power - The British Military Bicycle" by Ian Skennerton, published in 1991 in Arms & Militia Collector. An excellent source of information on this subject.

Rare photo of a bicycle in action, in this case as an ammunition carrier it seems.
Though it could well be a commandeered bike, rather than an official Army issue one. 18839136_10156172054709622_7327008665819077129_n.jpg

BSA folding bicycle question
Has anyone seen a manual for the BSA folding bicycle? I am particularly interested in the exact nomenclature for this model. ....... Brian

For a man whose second language is English, your sense of humour is pretty good. Your teachers would be proud of you.

BSA Folding Bicycle
Brian, unlike the Americans who had a manual for everything, there is no manual specific to the British BSA Folding Bicycle. It may be referenced in the Vocabulary of Ordnance Stores and it is discussed in Pamphlet No. 4 Airborne/Airtransported Operations, Supplement No. 1 1948 as a Folding Bicycle. The Bicycle Mk IV is covered in the 1931 and revised 1944 edition of Instructions for Armourers.
