1940s Phillips Mark V* Military Roadster
(Now sold)
********************
In World War II, the Japanese were able to take over the Malaysian Peninsula in 70 days largely because of the speed of its cycle-mounted troops (above). I added a brief early history of bicycles in action in the page on my 1919 BSA Military Roadster.
BSA, Mercury, Raleigh and Phillips supplied the British military with bicycles.
********************
You can compare this Phillips Mark V* (the asterisk denotes conventional brakes) with my BSA Mark V coaster brake model on the previous page.
