I thought it was Delvene on the bike, there's a documentary on youtube where his humour is discussed and their quote points out that the idiot is Hoges in that sketch. I too watched it in the 70's on a B&W TV, massive fan back from 'Hoges In London'
did you also know that Delvene married 'Strop'

Yup. He was quite astute with his dollars too. He died quite recently

Wonder if the bike is a Schwinn
Click to expand...
I tried to find out. I don't think it's a Schwinn primarily on account of the chainset - Schwinn typically have circular "cut-outs" between the (spider) arms. The bike in the video has obviously been doctored - no identifying features, the wheels have been partly replaced with animation (but the chain looks real enough in motion) and I suspect that if there were any cables, then they were removed. The frame is lugless and despite the styling, looks quite modern. The closest I could come up with as a match is a discontinued Critical Cycles Women's Chatham Beach Cruiser:
631456

EDIT: but I don't think it is this - the forks look quite different at the dropout end for one.

Good detective work, could be an earlier model of the same bike

Allan Holdsworth's song "Tullio" named after Tullio Campagnolo. The song has over 100 different chord voicings and multiple key changes, it's more similar to a modern classical composition by Debussy or Messiaen than Rock, but because Holdsworth uses a Rock guitar tone it is classed as Rock or Rock Fusion. There's no doubt that Allan Holdsworth (RIP) was a genius of electric guitar, but he's too complex for my ears.

P.S he was from Bradford and worked in a bike shop when he was a young man.

Allan Holdsworth was a keen cyclist.

His music reminds me of John McGlaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra):
