The Bedelia was one of the many cycle cars built before WW1, possibly the original. Generally powered by a motorcycle engine, cycle cars were pretty rickety. Despite this particular Bedelia's exhaust catching the wooden frame on fire, a new speed record of 45 miles in one hour was set at Brooklands in 1912. Approximately 3000 of these things were sold between 1910 and 1925.
