The first appearance in print of this incomplete Dylan Thomas script for an original film operetta ("It will be all about a man who loves a bicycle. Its called 'Me and My Bike' and it covers the whole span of this man's life. Hi rides penny-farthings, tandems, tricycles, racing bikes and when he dies at the end, he rides on his bike up a sunbeam straight to heaven, where he's greeted by a heavenly chorus of bicycle bells" Thomas). Penned in 1948 when he was on contract to Gainsborough Pictures (Sydney Box was an executive producer for the firm), Thomas conceived of five major sequences for the film, but only the first was written, and that one is only partially complete..
