Yesterday Jack Thurston (The Bike Show/Resonance fm) posted these two posters on twitter. They are from 1976, advertising the ride that later became the LHF London to Brighton. It seems that it started out as a pro-bike/anti-car thing. Does anybody know more? Was the ride hi-jacked by the BHF? Jack also said he'd love to IV someone who took part back in '76

This page gives an overview over London-Brighton events:

It could well be that the Mayday ride evolved into one in June and that the BHF took it over. Then again, they could be unrelated. There doesn't seem to be much historical information about it on the net.
