Description du film :
Jimmy and Les get new bikes ... but do they know how to ride them safely? The story of Jimmy, who conscientiously takes the National Cycling Proficiency Scheme test, and Leslie, who suffers a series of mishaps through his own negligence.
This cheerful cycling cautionary tale was directed by Anthony Simmons just before his feature breakthrough with Four in the Morning (1965). It was commissioned under the more prosaic title »Child Cyclists«, and intended to promote the work of the National Cycling Proficiency Scheme. Founded in 1958 by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), it established a minimum recommended standard for cycling on British roads, offering training through schools and local authorities, a process culminating in a badge and certificate.
