And Now Meet The Super Cyclist (1930)

Alma Victoria - the “Whirly Wheely Girl“ is featured in this story. “Alma is one of those modern girls who seem to be brought up on a wheel - not a bottle.“ Alma does various stunts with a bicycle in the Pathe Studio. She does acrobatic contortions - wrapping herself around the bicycle, doing handstands on the bike, cycling on one wheel, and rolling over a man’s back as he grabs the bike. “Unlike the cycle, Alma is never tired.“ Two men spin a long rope and Alma “skips“ on her bike. Alma does a stunt where she does a forward roll over a table and jumps back on her bike again. We see Alma “skipping“ in slow motion. We see the forward roll over the table repeated in slow motion.
