Bicycles play a significant part in the plot of Pigeon Post and The Big Six, and are mentioned in other books.
Pigeon Post
They trek to Tysons with their gear on Dromedaries (bicycles) or the handcart (PP7). Later Dick cycles back to Beckfoot test the gold dust (PP33).
Coot Club
Bill cycles to Potter Heigham (CC15). At Beccles a boy on a red Post Office bicycle is too late to give them a telegram from home (CC23).
The Big Six
The detectives go out on bicycles to find out whether other boats have been cast adrift: Tom on his bicycle, Bill on his (Bill is the only one of the Death and Glories with a bicycle), Joe on Dick’s bicycle, and Pete on Dot’s (BS25,26).
George Owdon has a bicycle (BS32). So do a number of adults: Mr Tedder the policeman (BS19), the old parson and Mr Jonnatt. The detectives are particularly interested in bicycles with Dunlop tyres (BS20).
The Picts and the Marytrs
The postman rides a bicycle (PM7). Billy Lewthwaite rides on Nancy’s bicycle to get petrol for Rattletrap (PM25).
We Didn’t Mean To Go To Sea
They see Dutch girls on bicycles in Flushing (WD23).
