It reflects a period where teenagers that were born in the 40s and early 50s felt separated from those who had been involved in the Second World War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the early sixties that disconnect led to the development of a counterculture which was expressed in popular music, fashion and rebellion. At the heart of that culture were two groups of teenagers: Mods and Rockers. The story centres around a love triangle, between a young ambitious girl, Judy, who falls in love with a Rocker, Jimmy, and then, after an interlude in Ireland, falls in love with a Mod, Terry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome very strong messages and issues of the time are highlighted, particularly relating to education, ambition, opportunities, society and female emancipation after the Second World War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut essentially, it’s about Mods and Rockers; two wheels, speed, testosterone, aggression, music and the fashion that connected young people experiencing freedom and rebellion. It marked an era that would dramatically shape the second half of the 20th century in the UK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"🚚 FREE UK DELIVERY ON ALL ORDERS OVER £60","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55520495632760,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/8824\/4403\/files\/51i3HMlqHkL._SY445_SX342_ML2.jpg?v=1775133857","url":"https:\/\/quadropheniaalley.com\/products\/mockers-love-at-first-bike-book-by-will-grimsey","provider":"Quadrophenia Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
