Another Older Raleigh Bicycle

I came across this senior bicycle advertising a cafe at the sheltered accomodation next to the sports centre.

Always feel rather sorry for them, shackled permanently to promote something rather than being ridden free in the countryside, but I always like to see the Raleigh heron on view, hopefully one that was made at the great factory in Nottingham.

Fetishised though they are, steel bikes have a beauty that carbon cannot match,
