# Raleigh winkie tricycle

The Winkie was a rear chain drive children's tricycle manufactured in England by Raleigh Bicycles between 1950 and 1970. The tricycle was notable both for its solid design and easy riding qualities, even for adults, and also its popularity due to use by famous personalities such as Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Charles of the UK Monarchy. Raleigh marketed the tricycle to children by having them automatically join an owners club called the Circle of Silver Knights which taught traffic safety while also acting as a way to sell tricycles. The construction is welded steel tube with steel wheels and a single speed cog driven by a chain attached to a solid rear axle.
