Hi Ben,

The ATS wern't issued any special bicycles, they took the place of men
and and used military issued Phillips, Mercury or BSA, or any pre war
civilian bike they could get hold of. If it is a lady's bike (no
crossbar), with wooden pedals, and no chrome. It is probably a WLA
bike or issued for WLA use.
