That is not a bicycle, that is a piece of agricultural machinery. A 
Raleigh 3-speed is a bicycle. Well, not the one I own, it is a pile of 
bicycle parts, needing total restoration. The Dunalt (has a 1973 
registration sticker on the frame)is ridable however, as is the Bianchi 
(my commuter from back in the early ninties).

By the way I used to have a bike like that, Cotty. Only mine had a 100cc 
engine <grin>.
