| In the 1950s many folk had their first taste of motorised personal transport, with a "clip-on", using an old bicycle - for under £20 taxed, and insured, a new freedom was available. A group of Warwickshire enthusiasts who gathered for social runs in those less hurried times formed the "Magic Wheelers", whose badge we retain today. |
Magic Wheeler Badge a stylised Cyclemaster wheel. |
Around 1980 some members of the VMCC who had for some time championed their "pop pops" or "Wilfreds" alongside larger machines, decided to form their own non-territorial group. Today the section organises various runs including the infamous 100 mile run. Our machines can be seen on display at 'Founders Day' and at various meetings across the country. |

Calling VeloSoleX Owners "La Vie en Bleu" is an event to celebrate the French motor vehicle. It is being held on 24/25 May 2008 at Prescott, the HQ of the Bugatti Owners Club. There will be competitive runs on the hill, two Bugatti Veyron being demonstrated on the hill, the ex-Senna Fl car, and a host of Bugatti, Citroen Traction, 2CV, ID, DS, Renault Alpine, Dauphine, etc., etc. and even a French market. We would really like to see some Velosolex at the event, and indeed any other French motor cycles can you help?
