In contrast to the Woolley and Jaques cycling games, which came with neatly-boxed playing equipment and were made to last, the Raleigh Cruising Game an ephemeral production, given away free by Raleigh cycle dealers just before the Second World War. Though the game sheet is not uncommon, the cardboard bicycle tokens are hard to find. The stylish young woman pictured on the reverse suggests that the pleasures of owning an up-market Raleigh might not be confined to enjoyment of the countryside. The game itself is technically unremarkable but has some appealing period features. At space 37, the player encounters a "Stop Me and Buy One" tricycle. The ice-cream tricycle was introduced by the Acton firm of T. Wall and Son in 1922, with the idea of selling their ice cream direct to the public. The innovation was successful and by 1939 there were no fewer than 8500 Walls tricycles on the road. More enduringly, reference is made at several points to the advantages of the Sturmey-Archer gear, a multispeed hub first produced in Nottingham by a subsidiary of the Raleigh company but now manufactured in Taiwan.

The Raleigh Bicycle Company is a British bicycle manufacturer based in Nottingham, England and founded by Woodhead and Angois in 1885. Using Raleigh as their brand name, it is one of the oldest bicycle companies in the world. After being acquired by Frank Bowden in December 1888, it became The Raleigh Cycle Company, which was registered as a limited liability company in January 1889. By 1913, it was the largest bicycle manufacturing company in the world and since then the quality has declined. From 1921 to 1935, Raleigh also produced motorcycles and three-wheel cars, leading to the formation of Reliant Motors. Raleigh bicycle is now a division of the Dutch corporation Accell.
In 2006, the Raleigh Chopper was named in the list of British design icons in the Great British Design Quest organised by the BBC and the Design Museum.
