Common card · No. 321536

The Raleigh Chopper is a bicycle for children and young adults, manufactured and marketed by the Raleigh Bicycle Company of Nottingham, England. It became a cultural icon, and its design was influenced by "chopped" motorcycles which had themselves evolved from and caricatured American Dirt track racing motorcycles. Early chopper style motorcycles were featured in the 1953 film The Wild One and in the film Easy Rider which was released in 1969 at the height of the chopper motorbike craze. MK1 models were produced from 1968 to 1972, MK2 models were produced from 1972 to 1983 and MK3 models were produced from 2004 to 2012 and sold through to 2018.
