June 1940, Belgian citizens aboard bicycles escapes from the advancing German troops, trying to get to France.
See the generator on the front wheel for the head light? I used to have one of those on one of my bikes.

Those have been around for years haven't they - I had one on my Raleigh bike in the early 70's - we used to call it a dynamo.

Yeah, they were big in the 60's-70's. We only used them for a short time though. They were loud and put such a drag on the wheel especially the faster you went we took them off in short order.
