Hi,

Is this your effort to digitise the Freewheeling magazines? I have an interest in issue 17 (pages 69-73) which mentions the Pedal Club Liasion Group and the organizer Mr. Peter Harris. The previous founder and organiser of the Pedal Club in the 1950s was Maurice Kirby of Noble Park of which the Noble Park velodrome is named after him, but currently proposed for demolition by City of Greater Dandenong.

I am seeking further information on Peter Harris and the Pedal Clubs if possible.

Not my project.
Digital work by Warren Salomon, the original publisher of the magazine.

Thanks for the reply and lead. I will contact Warren to see if he knows any further of the Pedal Clubs of Victoria.

Also, I note you're from the Dandy area. Have you known about the existence of the Noble Park Velodrome? Please check links below if you haven't already.
