Drawing bikes, by Alex Oxley

Alex Oxley was an English illustrator, specialised in bikes and cars, who worked between the 1930's and 1950's. I had never heard of him untill my honorable fellow-blogger and fellow bike maniac, Hugues de Domingo, whose birthday it is (or nearly), posted a series of Oxley's drawings on his excellent blog, Le Dépassionné (see link somewhere down on the left).
