A GLC publicity film made c1984/5 about cycling in London and a puff for GLC's cycling policies/projects and, subliminally for the GLC itself - the keep GLC working for London ads on the buses date it to the period when abolition threatened.
Some of the stuff shown survives to today and is a reminder of how minor incremental changes can make a difference.
Mostly trad drop bar or sit/beg bikes and barely a helmet in sight.
Interest beyond cycling as a nostalgia trip to the vehicles, brands and shops of the time.
The GLC bloke riding the Paddington to Chelsea route is a doppelganger for yours truly at around that time.
