Folies

 

Graphics by Andrew Boulton

I have been talking to fellow cyclekarter Andrew Boulton, a graphic designer, about wanting a Folies Bergere style logo for the Bédélia and he has been playing with the idea. The car, the French archetypal cyclecar, was designed and built in Paris in 1910 (home of the legendary music-hall) and is regarded by many as a folly - a mad idea.

Also, speaking sentimentally, my late mother's cottage was known as Little Follies, so in a small way this will be a tribute to her. I know she would have approved.
