1929 Rudge-Whitworth No 28 Lady’s Standard Bicycle    

 

Rudge-Whitworth was a very innovative company. In 1926 they announced a new invention that was available as an option on all their bicycles – Coupled Brakes. It cost an extra 10/-. When you applied either brake, they both came on. As he company put it, rather more dramatically:

What the Pneumatic Tyre has done for the Comfort of Cyclists, this new system of braking does for their Safety.
