Gradually adding to my ‘The Bicycle’ collection - some issues from 1941 when the mag started using red ink. Paper was rationed so the editions were sparse and thin. Perhaps why not many copies have survived - at least none that I can track down anyway. #cyclingprints #cyclinghistory

Sending some Christmas cheer from 1937 The Bicycle - not that much has changed for club runs has it? #cyclinghistory
Sporza commentary: "Brand, as if stung by a wasp" (proverb, not sure of English equivalent but you get the meaning). Let's just hope that the wasp doesn't sting in the innertube. #cyclocross #museeuw #cyclinghistory

Number One
The number on his bike tells it all: Eddy Merckx is #1. In this photo, Eddy looks excellent in the maillot jaune of the race leader and awaits a stage start at the 1974 Tour de France.

Cigar Break!
Cyrille Guimard enjoys a cigar as he leisurely pedals along during Stage 13 of the 1970 Tour de France. He did not seem too concerned at the time that he was about to face five climbs that day on his 195km ride to Gap!

We love this image of Gimondi cooling off in the mountains of Stage 17 of the 1969 Tour de France. Gimondi was a fantastic rider who won all three Grand Tours: the Tour de France in 1965, the Giro d'Italia in 1967, 1969, and 1976, and the Vuelta a España in 1968.

Retro Time Trial
Compared to what we see current pro riders wearing and riding at a time trial, Rudi Altig looks almost quaint in this photo from the 1969 Tour. Almost, but not when you look into the eyes. That is a man who could drop the hammer.

Jan Janssen, riding with the #1 bib as the previous winner of the Tour in 1968, is encouraged by his director and former racer Raphaël Géminiani on a climb at the 1969 Tour.

Eddy left no doubt who was king as he pummeled the field on Stage 17 of the 1969 Tour de France. With four major summits that day - Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet, and Aubisque - Merckx finished alone 7 minutes 56 seconds ahead of 2nd place Michele Dancelli.

Felice Gimondi
1967 Tour de France

Louison Bobet accepts a drink from an eager fan on a climb at the 1959 Tour de France. The 1959 Tour turned out to be his last. He was forced to retire from the '59 Tour and made a point of leaving the race at the top of the Col de l'Iseran.
