CYCLING is a hot topic in Brighton at the moment but the cyclists in our Argus archive pictures today didn’t have to worry about special lanes as there wasn’t so much traffic.

This young man has arrived at Sheepcote Valley camp site – we think it was around 1949, well before Lycra.
Warren Road, Woodingdean, circa 1953
This great picture of Warren Road in Woodingdean is thought to have been taken in the early Fifties.
Those in the know say the car on the right is a Ford Zephyr – it has a Brighton registration (OUF 893) and was “almost certainly purchased new from Hartley and Midgley”.
