Description

Made in Nottingham, ridden around the world.

John MacNaughtan and Tim Buxton of Raleigh Bikes talk on Raleigh's International Reach and 'Where next for Raleigh?'

In 1902 his Highness the Kumar Rajah of Bobbili was proudly pictured with a Raleigh, and by 1910 the company was exporting its bicycles as far afield as Russia, Liberia, Tasmania, Armenia, Java, Trinidad, Nigeria, Argentina and Madagascar.

Join the Managing Directors of Raleigh International and Merida Cycles as they share stories of selling bikes across the planet - dealing with civil war, revolution and the impact of globalisation - and end the series by thinking aloud about the future face of the industry.
